Bluebird copper SX plant was built similar to existing uranium SX plants with tall, single baffled mixers and long narrow settlers. Dispersion exiting the mixer was pumped to the opposite end of the settler and the phases flowed back toward the mixers. In electrowinning rich electrolyte with ~36 g/l Cu, 3 g/l Fe
