Microfluidic solvent extraction of metal ions from industrial grade leach solutions: Extraction performance and channel aging

Microfluidic solvent extraction (microSX) of metal ions from industrial grade mineral leach solutions was studied. In conventional bulk-scale SX, partially hydrophobic nanoparticles that are present in the leach solution readily adsorb at the liquid-liquid interface of the dispersed droplets, causin...
