An optimization method of extraction of copper from bioleaching solution bearing high iron using LIX984N as an extractant was proposed based on Taguchi method for SNR (signal noise ratio) and variance analysis of the extraction rate and baciextraction rate. The results showed that in the process of extraction the extraction agent volume fraction and the phase ratio (V(O)/V(A)) were important factors affecting SNR , and their contributions to the extraction rate reached 32744%, and 34180%, respectively. Extraction time was a significant factor to SNR while pH value was an nonsignificant factor in the extraction process. The optimized parameters of the extraction process were as follow:extraction agent volume fraction 30%, volume ratio of organic material to water 2∶1, extraction time 600s and initial pH value 15. The phase ratio (V(O)/V(A)) and baciextraction time were significant factors to SNR while temperature was an nonsignificant factor in the baciextraction process. The optimized parameters of the baciextraction process were as follow:volume ratio of organic material to water 1∶2, baciextraction time 600s, and temperature 30℃. Through extraction—baciextraction—electrodeposition experienments under the optimized processing condition, the extraction rate and baciextraction rate of copper reached up to 9991%, and 9856%, respectively, while the current efficiency reached up to 92594%.
