| Project Abstract | (1) To test a previously designed laboratory prototype fixed-bed sorption column system for a range of metals and to optimize the main related physico-chemical factors such as regeneration cycles, desorption and selective recovery of metals when present in a same waste stream. A closer investigation of the antagonistic effects of antimony is also being carried out.(2) An up-scaling of the prototype sorption column system to simulate industry conditions. |
