Electrostatic Agitation in Hydrometallurgical Solvent Extraction

The use of mechanical agitation in solvent extraction (SX) provides limited capability to control droplet size, droplet size distribution, and droplet motion leading to poor mass transfer, inefficient phase separation, and formation of interfacial precipitates, and thus, a major limitation of the cu...
