当时世界上最大的溶剂萃取厂——恩昌加铜厂（Nchanga Copper Operation）位于赞比亚。使用溶剂萃取法提炼铂族金属的第一个商业化工艺是在南非。最近，南部非洲地区已经看到了对其他贱金属、贵金属和特种金属的溶剂萃取的实施。其中包括纳米比亚Skorpion zinc的世界首次初级锌生产，以及南非Harmony gold的大规模黄金精炼。其他几个使用溶剂萃取技术的流程目前正在调试、开发或可行性研究中，以便在该地区实施，包括回收铜、钴、镍、钽和铌的流程。
The largest solvent-extraction plant in the world at the time, the Nchanga Copper Operation, was in Zambia. The first commercial process using solvent extraction for the refining of the platinum-group metals was in South Africa. More recently, the Southern African region has seen the implementation of solvent extraction for other base metals, precious metals, and specialty metals. These include the world firsts of primary production of zinc at Skorpion Zinc in Namibia and the large-scale refining of gold by Harmony Gold in South Africa. Several other flowsheets that use solvent-extraction technology are currently under commissioning, development, or feasibility study for implementation in this part of the world, including those for the recovery of copper, cobalt, nickel, tantalum, and niobium.
