At pH 1.65 the extracted copper, from a synthetic mixture of the base metals reached 90.13(±0.90)%, and through a two-step extraction process 98.22(±0.29)% copper was recovered with negligible nickel and cobalt impurities. Stripping of the copper from the loaded organic phase using TraceSelect sulphuric acid at pH 0.35 yielded 96.60(±0.44)% of the loaded quantity after the second stage of stripping. The separation of Ni²⁺ from the borderline and hard acids; Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe2²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺, Mg2²⁺ and Ca²⁺ at a pH range of 0.5-3.5 with OPIM and DNNSA was acvieved to the tune of a ΔpH½≈ 1.6 with respect to cobalt from a sulfate and sulfate/chloride media. A three-stage counter-current extraction of Ni²⁺, at the optimized pH of 1.89, from a synthetic mixture of Ni²⁺, Co²⁺ and Cu²⁺, yielded 99.01(±1.79)%. The total co-extracted Cu²⁺ was 48.72(±0.24)% of the original quantity in the mixture, and it was 19.85(±0.28%) for Co²⁺. The co-extracted Cu²⁺ was scrubbed off from the loaded organic phase at pH≈8.5 by using an ammonium buffer, while co-extracted Co²⁺ was selectively and quantitatively stripped with H₂SO₄ at pH 1.64. The total recovery of Ni²⁺ by stripping at pH 0.32 was 94.05(±1.70)%. In the solid-liquid system, Ni²⁺ was separated from Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Fe²⁺ with the microspherical resins funtionalised with 2,2′-pyridylimidazole by a separation factor (β) in the range 22-45. Electrospun nanofibers as sorbents yielded high sorption capacity in the range of 0.97 - 1.45 mmol.g⁻¹ for the same metals ions. Thus, 1-octylimidazole-2-aldoxime (OIMOX), and1-octyl-2-(2′-pyridyl)imidazole (OPIM) can be effectively utilized alongside DNNSA as a co-extractant in the separation of Cu²⁺ and Ni²⁺ respectively from base metals in acidic sulfate medium in a solvent extraction process, and the latter as a selective ligand in the solid-liquid separation of Ni²⁺ from Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Fe²⁺.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 16:26:16 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11272 Wed 12 May 2021 16:18:32 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5397 Wed 12 May 2021 16:16:19 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:20493 Wed 12 May 2021 16:16:01 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9815 Wed 12 May 2021 16:12:17 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1888 Wed 12 May 2021 16:03:14 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6023 Wed 12 May 2021 15:59:29 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6052 Wed 12 May 2021 15:55:13 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11690 Wed 12 May 2021 15:51:41 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9583 Wed 12 May 2021 15:49:51 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9635 Wed 12 May 2021 15:47:51 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11195 Wed 12 May 2021 15:45:10 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4439 Wed 12 May 2021 15:44:41 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1891 Wed 12 May 2021 15:44:06 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3411 Thu 13 May 2021 13:55:25 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2166 Thu 13 May 2021 10:12:11 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3616 Thu 13 May 2021 09:56:44 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11747 Thu 13 May 2021 08:22:11 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11140 Thu 13 May 2021 08:14:35 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11703 Thu 13 May 2021 07:37:49 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:21137 Thu 13 May 2021 07:18:53 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10641 Thu 13 May 2021 07:16:53 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8277 Thu 13 May 2021 07:15:19 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4278 Thu 13 May 2021 07:14:17 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10672 Thu 13 May 2021 07:02:31 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:18456 Thu 13 May 2021 06:46:13 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11582 0.05), woody species diversity as well as compositional percentage for D.eriatha, C.plurinodis, S.fimbriatus, A.karro and E.rigida.

Early pulses of H2O-poor magma crystallise a sequence of plag+cpx+Fe-Ti oxide (±ol). Later pulses of H2Orich magma subsequently intrude the partially crystallised cumulate sequence incorporating and consuming previously crystallised silicates with subsequent early crystallisation of Ti-magnetite and formation of ore layers. H2O-rich magmas likely have suspended Ti-magnetite microphenocrysts as well, which crystallise at depth in the plumbing system.
