Effects of residence time and mixing regimes on the precipitation characteristics of CaF2 and MgF2 from high ionic strength sulphate solutions

The presence of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the hydrometallurgical processing of base metals is responsible for the contamination of the final product, high energy consumption and large bleed streams during electrowinning. This paper elaborates on the use of ammonium fluoride to precipitate C...
