“…A considerable amount of work have been devoted towards the investigation on solvent extraction of copper from acid or ammoniacal medium using LIX series extractants Lazarova, 2005, 2007;Panigrahi et al, 2009;Parija and Sarma, 2000). Off these LIX reagents, LIX 984N-C is found to be an efficient and effective extractant owing to its exclusive applications in extraction of several metals (Cu, Ni, Fe and Zn) by solvent extraction processes (Kul and Cetinkaya, 2009a, 2009b, 2010. In addition, the selectivity of the LIX 984N-C towards any of the above metals was again governed by the change of suitable pH range of the aqueous solutions (Kul and Cetinkaya, 2009b).…”
