Abstract

This chapter delves into the performance testing of a newly developed non-fluorocarbon acid mist suppressant, ACORGA® EW98, for copper electrowinning. The study focuses on four key areas: the challenges and mitigation techniques for acid mist, the development and evaluation of ACORGA® EW98, the compatibility of the additive with solvent extraction and electrowinning processes, and the results from laboratory, pilot plant, and industrial trials. The research demonstrates that ACORGA® EW98 achieves adequate acid mist suppression at a dosage of 10–20 mg/L, is compatible with both solvent extraction and electrowinning systems, and offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. The additive forms a stable, thin film on the electrolyte surface, significantly reducing the release of acid mist and improving workplace air quality. The comprehensive testing and analysis provide a detailed overview of the additive's performance and its potential to enhance operational efficiency and safety in copper electrowinning processes.
