Open a manipulation on the right, then click a material on the left to install it. Then select a container, mineral or reagent and quantity. Instruments can be reordered using drag and drop; transfers are ordered on the right.

Empty bench: install the equipment of your choice.

    Calculated chemistry and limits

    Each metal is preserved between aqueous phase, mineral residue, precipitate, organic phase and waste. The pH comes from a proton balance with neutralization, ammonia and simplified hydroxide equilibria at 25°C. Activities, sulfate/chloride/ammonia complexes, carbonates and specific analytical reactions are not resolved. The chemistry of non-metallic elements and the total mass of all counterions are not tracked.

    Apparent kinetic acid leaching depending on surface area, mixing, temperature and relative redox action. The samples are training compositions; no factory recovery prediction. Mineral dissolution, precipitation and SX have educational coefficients. The organic is extracted then stripped according to the pH; constant volumes per phase, without simulated emulsion or process safety. The filtrate and transfers are idealized.

    RO-TAP: progressive evolution towards a dry particle size distribution, rotation and strike represented. The dry mass and its distribution are approximate after chemical transformation; the balance of each metal is accurate in the model. The “reference” devices and the “non-engine” reactor library are documentary: muffle furnace fusion, pycnometry, flotation and EDTA/iodometric titrations are not simulated here. The conductivity meter displays a calculated index, not certified conductivity.

    Understand: The metallurgy bench

    Link sample, separation, measurement and interpretation.

    The bench combines preparation and characterization operations: sieving, solid–liquid separation, chemical contacts and observations depending on the material chosen. Each result must be related to a sample and conditions.
