Patent of Invention: "HIGHLY CONDUCTIVE COPPER EXTRACTION FORMULATIONS". The present invention relates to a method of creating solvent extraction reagent formulations having high conductivity by combining a phenolic oxime-like extraction reagent (s) or other phase extraction reagent (s). of a solvent extraction circuit of a metal recovery operation, comprising combining the phenolic oxime-like extraction reagent (s) or other reagent (s) with one or more ketone, nitrile and / or or amide, or mixtures thereof, to create an extraction reagent formulation with a conductivity of at least 4,000 pS / m, measured according to the provisions of BS 5958 Part I, as well as a method for creating an organic phase having high conductivity, preferably a conductivity of at least 250 pS / m, comprising adding to the organic phase of an extraction circuit a phenolic oxime-like extraction reagent formulation with one or more ketoxime (s), aldox (s), mixtures thereof, or one or more other extraction reagents, and one or more ketone, nitrile or amide compounds or mixtures thereof, and new ketone, nitrile and amide compounds. |
