About this document
Cobalt Adsorption on Ferric Oxyhydroxide by Thassi Mutondo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis investigates cobalt adsorption and co-precipitation onto ferric oxyhydroxide in the context of the Caron process for nickel and cobalt extraction from laterite ores. Key findings indicate that cobalt adsorption is influenced by initial iron concentration, pH, and to a lesser extent, temperature, with optimal adsorption achieved at pH 7 and specific conditions. The study highlights the structural characteristics of iron precipitates and their role in cobalt recovery during the leaching process.
