Solvent Extraction Optimization

Improve Metal Mass Transfer by Stabilizing SX Circuit Yields

IntelliSense.io’s Solvent Extraction (SX) application guides metallurgists and operators on how to operate circuits at optimal setpoints to increase stability and increase average mass metal transfer.

Made for Your Mining Challenges

Poor Metal Mass Transfer, with Co-Transferred Impurities

Operators don’t know in what state (phase continuity) their SX circuit is operating, due to constantly changing impurities in the feed.

How it Helps

Real-time Organic Flow Monitoring

Real-time data availability to monitor and predict changes in organic-aqueous continuity in the mixers allow operators to control SX circuits more efficiently.

Guide operators with the setpoints to optimize metals mass transfer with the least impact in organic and aqueous entrainments.

What you Get

Informed Decision-Making and Increased Copper Production

Achieve your target metal mass transfer rates via the SX circuit whilst minimizing the co-transfer of undesired aqueous contaminants and organic-diluent SX reagents.

Receive recommendations on how exactly to operate each SX mixer-settler stage, so that your overall performance is optimized irrespective of shift.

Solvent Extraction Optimization in Action

The IntelliSense.io Solent Extraction Optimization application has been developed and refined over several years at multiple customer sites, creating an ‘out-of-the-box’ product that can be rapidly deployed to deliver value within weeks.

Deploying their Solvent Extraction Scientific-AI Application, the IntelliSense.io team was able to demonstrate significant value gains with a 3% improvement in average copper mass transfer
