SimSXCu Full Version 2.0

Introduction
SimSXCu Full Version 2.0 is a program to simulate copper solvent extraction configuratio
as the extractant. The principle of this static simulation program is described in the publi
"Simulation of Copper solvent extraction configuration using Microsoft Excel solvers".

Simulation of copper solvent extraction configuration using Microsoft Excel solver
The goal of this publication is to give a simple procedure for designing a static simulat
solvent extraction configuration. This simple procedure will allow designers to quickly h
program for complex configuration or new product that have not yet simulation program
It also will allow plant metallurgists to have a static simulation program for checking pla
static simulation program uses Excel solver program for optimization. Knowledge of the

change. This textbook gives the upgrade of the equilibrium line simulation models
Design of copper solvent extraction configurations and the experimental tests.
The specificity of each option
The option "1" is the option which gives the optimum value of the extractant volume perc
organic phase when the values of the others parameters are known. It is used by designe
The option 2 is the option which gives the values of extractant volume percentage, satu
efficiencies when the values of the others parameters are known. It is used by plant meta
The concept of this simulation program is described in the publication called "LIX REAGE

Use of simulation
SimSXCu Full version 2.0 gives the simulation program of the 18 exiting configurations of
extraction. Each copper solvent extraction configuration is designated by the alphabetica
configuration, there are two options on two Excel worksheets. For each option, there is a
the option on the following worksheet .
On each worksheet (option and option graph), there is a Excel solver program already est
The exiting configurations of coppe solvent extraction are:
A - Series 2Ex1S
B - Series 2Ex2S
C - Series 3Ex1S
D - Series 3Ex2S
E - Series parallel 2Ex1Px1S
F - Series parallel 2Ex1Px2S
G - Optimum series parallel 1Ex1Px1Ex1S
H - Optimum series parallel 1Ex1Px1Ex2S
I - Triple parallel 1Ex1Px1Px1S
J - Triple parallel 1Ex1Px1Px2S
K - Interlaced 1Ex1Px1Ex1Px1S
L - Interlaced 1Ex1Px1Ex1Px2S
M - Double series parallel 2Ex2Px1S
N - Doubles series parallel 2Ex2Px2S
O - Optimum triple parallel 1Ex1Px1Px1Ex1S
P - Optimum triple parallel 1Ex1Px1Px1Ex2S
Q - Organic by pass 2Ex2Px1S
R - Organic by pass 2Ex2Px2S
You can design yourself for the others configurations following the procedure described in
"simulation of copper solvent extraction configuration using Microsoft Excel solver"
Option 1
On the option 1 Excel worksheet, the user can only changes data having red color
color are the solver variables and data having green color are the solver constrai
v/v% : extractant volume percentage in the organic phase

AML : Maximum loaded when the free acid concentration in the PLS is zero
ML : Maximum loaded - value of copper concentration in the organic phase in steady stat
SR : saturation ratio - ratio of loaded organic (LO) to Maximum loaded (ML) - this value is
PLS : Pregnant leach solution
O/A : Ratio of organic flow to aqueous flow
Mixer Eff : mixer efficiency
When the red color data are completed
On the Data, in the Analysis group click solver (if the solver command is not availa
the solver add-in).Click Solve. To keep the solution values on the worksheet, in the Solv
click Keep solver solution. the results of solver give the optimum value of extractant volu
The user will moves to the option 1 graph Excel worksheet.
click Keep solver solution. The results of solver give the graph of the option 1
Option 2
On the option 2 Excel worksheet, the user can only changes data having red color
color are the solver variables and data having green color are the solver constrai
The value of maximum loaded (ML) comes from the plant lab and the values of others
the plant.
When the red color data are completed
click Keep solver solution. The results of solver give plant parameters
The user will moves to the option 2 graph Excel worksheet.
click Keep solver solution. the results of solver give the graph of the option 2
