Construction and operation of a continuous ion-exchange pilot plant using fluidized-bed columns / P. Prud'homme and B.H. Lucas.: M38-13/79-9E-PDF

"The development of new simplified ion-exchange equipment for recovering metals from solution is described. For many years fixed-bed ion exchange has been practised on clarified liquors. A more economical treatment was realized by constructing a continuous ion-exchange plant in which resin inventory is reduced and solution filtration and clarification stages eliminated. The equipment consists of a single-stage deep fluidized-bed extraction column coupled with moving-bed elution and wash columns for the extraction of different ions from mine water solutions and leach liquors. A procedure was developed to achieve the proper utilization and optimum operating conditions for this pilot-plant equipment"--Summary, p. i.
