Acid mistAcid mist generation continues to be an issue faced by the miningMining industry, stemming from O2 generated by electrolysisElectrolysis during copper electrowinningCopper electrowinning. It has previously been controlled by use of reagents that are being phased out, opening the door to new chemistries. BASF has developed a comprehensive approach to validating mist suppressing reagents at laboratory scale. This test regime addresses mist reduction, plating, solvent extractionSolvent extraction (SX) compatibility, and stability.
