Theoretical Foundations and Technological Capabilities of Hydrocarbonyl Process while Recovering Copper from Technogenic Wastes

Secondary processing of waste from metallurgical and other industries becomes an urgent issue in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressure and a shortage of sources of materials. The paper shows the results of chemical and technological studies of processes, executing in the Cu(II) – Cu(I) – Cl- – CO – H2О system. The processing technology of copper-bearing intermediate products multicomponent leaching solutions, permitting high purity copper production at the least economic cost, is proposed.
