Closed-loop solvometallurgical process for recovery of lead from iron-rich secondary lead smelter residues
Federica Forte,Liesbeth Horckmans,Kris Broos,Eun Young Kim,Frantisek Kukurugya,Koen Binnemans +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a solvometallurgical process based on the use of concentrated acetic acid as lixiviant is proposed as an alternative for conventional hydrometallurgical processes to recover lead from iron-rich industrial residues generated by recycling of spent lead-acid batteries in a secondary lead smelter.
Efficient separation of rare earths recovered by a supported ionic liquid from bauxite residue leachate
TL;DR: In this article, a supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) was used for the recovery of rare-earth elements (REEs) from bauxite residue leachates.
T‐Shaped Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on the Imidazolium Motif: Exploring Substitution of the C‐2 Imidazolium Carbon Atom
Karel Goossens,Sil Wellens,Kristof Vana Hecke,Luc Van Meervelt,Thomas Cardinaels,Koen Binnemans +5 more
TL;DR: In this contribution the first examples of so-called rigid-core, T-shaped imidazolium ionic liquid crystals, in which the C-2 atom of the imidAZolium ring is substituted with an aryl moiety decorated with one or two alkoxy chains, are described.
Model for Metal Extraction from Chloride Media with Basic Extractants: A Coordination Chemistry Approach.
TL;DR: The proposed extraction model better explains the experimental observations in comparison to the anion exchange model and allows the prediction of optimal conditions for metal extractions and separations a priori, by selecting the most suitable salting-out agent and its concentration.
