The recovery of Fe, Mn and Al from a mine water effluent

The mine water effluent investigated contains considerable quantities of Fe, Mn and Al. Recovery of the pure metals is obstructed by the presence of impurities such as Zn, Ni, Co, Cu and Th. The oxidation of the effluent results in practically complete separation of Fe and Mn, though both fractions...

Description
Summary:The mine water effluent investigated contains considerable quantities of Fe, Mn and Al. Recovery of the pure metals is obstructed by the presence of impurities such as Zn, Ni, Co, Cu and Th. The oxidation of the effluent results in practically complete separation of Fe and Mn, though both fractions contain Al as an impurity. A variety of important experimental results are discussed.
