ABSTRACT Diffusion dialysis (DD) was proposed as a pretreatment step to reduce the acidity of real sulfate/chloride pregnant leach solutions containing cobalt(II) and nickel(II). Optimum DD conditions that enable reduction of acidity in the feed while maintaining a high rejection level of metal ions present in PLS were proposed, e.g. for 0.06 dm3/min flow of both aqueous phases H+ concentration in the dialysate reached 3.8 and 2.99 M for PLS1 and PLS2, respectively. Acid diffusion coefficients varied from 0.32 ∙10 −6 to 3.15∙10−6 m/s and decreased with increasing phase flow rates. Moreover, dialysate neutralization was beneficial for the H+ reduction in the feed.
