Abstract

A model is proposed for the removal of Sb by ion exchange from copper refining electrolytes that fits the data from the literature. The correction factors for the MX-2, UR-3300S and Duolite C-467 resins were 0.5531; 0.2839 and 0.5455, respectively. The following variables were studied: volume of resin (bed height), volumetric matter transfer coefficient, and initial antimony concentration in the solution. The model's average percentage error was 3.01%.
