Solvent Extraction Circuit Designer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Design copper or uranium solvent extraction circuits by calculating stages, equipment sizing, and reagent loading.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized hydrometallurgical tools for designing solvent extraction (SX) circuits. It allows engineers to determine the minimum number of stages required using calculate_stage_requirement, size physical equipment with size_mixer_settler, and verify reagent capacity with evaluate_reagent_loading. It also includes optimize_circuit_parameters to balance equipment volume against recovery targets. The tools help manage critical factors like O:A ratios, throughput, and crud formation to ensure efficient metal recovery.

How many stages do I need for a 95% recovery of copper with a 0.5 O:A ratio and this isotherm: {"0.1": "0.05", "0.5": "0.3", "1.0": "0.7"}?

To achieve 95% recovery with the provided isotherm and an O:A ratio of 0.5, 4 stages are required.

Calculate the mixer-settler dimensions for a throughput of 100 m3/h, O:A ratio of 1.2, residence time of 5 minutes, and a crud factor of 1.2.

The required equipment dimensions are: Mixer Volume: 120 m3, Settler Area: 450 m2, Mixer Diameter: 4.2 m, Settler Width: 15 m, and Settler Length: 30 m.

Is my reagent overloaded? Metal concentration is 5 g/L, throughput is 50 m3/h, reagent concentration is 0.1 M, and O:A ratio is 1.0.

The current loading is 85%, which is within the capacity limits.

You can use the `calculate_stage_requirement` tool by providing the metal concentration, target recovery, the extraction isotherm, and the O:A ratio.
