The SX-EW technology is more effective for the production of copper from refractory oxidized ores for the present day. A wide range of modern extractants is currently offered on the market for the extraction of copper from leaching solutions and its choice is a very important issue in the production of copper using the SX-EW technology. The aim of this work was to study the extraction properties of modified extractants of the Acorga series (5747, 5910, 5640) and unmodified extractant Lix 984N. It has been established that extractants Acorga 5640 and unmodified Lix984 have high selectivity to copper. During the extraction of copper from the productive solution with the use of all extractants, the formation of a third phase, cruda, is observed. Physical and chemical studies have established that the steak contains a large amount of silica, magnetite, hematite and anglesite. The distribution of iron, silica, and copper ions during extraction was studied and it was found that the extractant Lix 984 N (10%), then Acorga5640 (10%), has a high selectivity to copper/iron and copper/silica. Acorga 5640 (10%) is an effective extractant of copper from the productive solution of the Almaly deposit. It is observed that the amount of crud formed during extraction also depends on the rate of phase mixing, the number of revolutions of the stirrer, at a speed of 350-450 rpm, the formation of crud is 0.73%. The addition of the Acorga CR60 reagent in the amount of 5-10 ppm leads to a 3-3.2-fold decrease in the volume of the crud.
