Understand: The leach–CCD–SX–EW integrated circuit

Understand the sequence of operations and the accumulation of impurities.

Leaching puts the metal into solution, the CCD washes the residue, the SX purifies and transfers the metal, then the EW deposits it. Recycling reduces certain water and reagent requirements, but also returns dissolved species to the circuit.
