Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a metal recovery process comprising a solvent extraction process. In an exemplary embodiment, the solution extraction system comprises a plant with a first and second circuit. A high-grade pregnant leach solution (“HGPLS”) is provided to the first and second circuit, and a low-grade pregnant leach solution (“LGPLS”) is provided to the second circuit. The first circuit produces a rich electrolyte, which can be forwarded to a primary metal recovery, and a low-grade raffinate, which can be forwarded to a secondary metal recovery process. The second circuit produces a rich electrolyte, which can also be forwarded to the primary metal recovery process. The first and second circuits are in fluid communication with each other.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for maintaining a uniform gap between the periphery of an airbag module and its surrounding structure, comprising: at least one bushing having a protrusion depending outwardly from a surface of the bushing; and at least one insulator having a first bushing opening being configured to allow a portion the bushing to be slidably received therein, the bushing opening being configured to define a limit of travel of the portion of the bushings within the bushing opening.
