Hydrometallurgical Processing Unitsare integrated industrial systems used to extract and refine metals from ores, concentrates, recycled materials, or industrial residues using aqueous chemistry. These units employ processes such as leaching, solution concentration and purification, and metal recovery through precipitation, solvent extraction, or electro-winning. Typical configurations include reactors, tanks, filtration systems, mixers, heat exchangers, and automation controls. They are critical in processing metals like copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, rare earths, lithium, and uranium, especially in contexts where pyrometallurgical methods are inefficient or environmentally undesirable. Hydrometallurgical units are widely used in mining, battery recycling, electronic waste recovery, and specialty chemical production.
Hydrometallurgical Processing Units typically operate at leaching temperatures ranging from 25 °C to 250 °C and pressures up to 50 bar, especially in high-pressure autoclave systems for metals like nickel and cobalt. The pH environment is adjusted from strongly acidic (pH 0–2) to mildly alkaline (up to pH 10) depending on the metal and leaching chemistry. Residence times can vary from several minutes to hours, with solid-liquid ratios commonly between 1:4 and 1:10. These units handle flow rates from a few liters per minute (pilot scale) to thousands of cubic meters per day (industrial scale), and achieve solvent extraction efficiencies of 90–99% and metal recovery rates typically between 85–99%. Filtration and thickening capacities are rated in tons per hour, depending on the equipment type and slurry characteristics.
