Eco-Tec - Model APU -Acid Purification Unit

Electrolyte from the Copper Liberator cells is directed to the Spectrum Filter to remove suspended solids by an automated, back washable filter with a permanent media. The filtered solution then flows through an Acid Purification system which consists of a proprietary ion exchange resin column where the electrolyte solution (sulphuric acid) is separated from the metal salts by the resin. A de-acidified metal stream flows to a treatment tank where chemical reagent is added to precipitate Nickel (and other metal) salts. The metal salts are dewatered and washed to produce a saleable nickel salt by-product.
