dc.description.abstractThis study is a preliminary investigation into the mechanism and kinetics of Rh3+ coprecipitation with CuS upon aqueous thiosulphate addition to acidic base metal sulphate solutions, where Rh3+ concentration is two orders of magnitude lower than Cu2+, over 50 - 150 °C. The heterogeneous cationic substitution has been identified as a new precipitation path in metal sulfide co-precipitation, namely, the reaction between more soluble, co-precipitated metal sulphide (CuS) and the less soluble cation in solution (Rh3+), with the large KSP difference providing the chemical driving force.en_ZA
