Solvent extraction is regarded as one of the most applicable methods of extracting copper from pregnant liquid solution. The amount and quality of copper extraction are depend on various parameters including: the type of extractant, concentration and the stirring time. The current essay considers the amount of copper extraction from the pregnant liquid solution of Sungun copper mine in an approxiate concentration of 3% by chemorex cp150 as an extractant in 10% and 20% concentrations. In addition, the concentration of sulfuric acid in Sungun PLS is determined 4 gr/lit. eventually, the stripping process is done by sulfuric acid in 180 gr/lit concentration. the results indicate as the extractant concentration is increased, the amount of copper recovery from Sungun PLS gets more, while the long time of strring decreased the recovery.
