Les mineurs sont protégés sous la régulation 854.
Diethyl carbonate (DEC) was evaluated as a green, renewable alternative to methyl isobutyl ketone and dibutyl carbitol for the recovery of gold from copper-rich sources, such as anode slimes, by solvent extraction from chloride solutions. DEC is a powerful extractant at high chloride concentrations and can be used to sequester and concentrate gold from large …
