If copper recovery depends on (1/d p) and the copper leaching rate depends on (1/d p) 2, leaching of ROM ore in dumps should be impossible, or at least so slow and
The Copper Chloride Leaching Process consists of the following main steps: Concentrate repulp. Atmospheric chloride leaching. Leaching residue thickening, filtration, wash, and
The study of leaching is carried out in many areas, such as geology, agriculture and metallurgy. This paper provides an introduction to the theoretical
The method employed comprised openair water leaching of weathered piles of copperbearing ore followed by precipitation of the copper by iron. A description
A siliceous oxidized copper ore carrying from 1.5 to 2.0 per cent, metal may be profitably leached under favorable conditions; there are no other metallurgical
A maximum copper dissolution of about 87 % can be recovered at a leaching temperature of 45 oC, 462 m particle size, 0.2 N hydrochloric acid, 1.0 g/L solid
Copper production by heap leaching, coupled with solvent extraction and electrowinning (SXEW), is a wellestablished technology, with an annual output of about 3.7 million tonnes (Mt) of copper metal. Ores presently amenable to copper heap leaching include copper oxides and secondary copper sulfides. Most copper deposits amenable to
If copper recovery depends on (1/d p) and the copper leaching rate depends on (1/d p) 2, leaching of ROM ore in dumps should be impossible, or at least so slow and marginal as to not be profitable. And yet dump leaching of copper secondary sulphides is practiced widely, with good recoveries and at rates rapid enough to be measurable
A new concept for copper (Cu) metal leaching by the simultaneous use of cupric ions (Cu2+) and oxygen (O2) was proposed to improve Cu metal leaching in sulfuric acid. According to this concept, Cu2+ oxidizes Cu metal into cuprous ion (Cu+), and O2 oxidizes Cu+ into Cu2+. The improvement in Cu leaching efficiency from Cu metal was
mitigating the negative effects of mining on the environment in which it operates [7]. In the present work, a comprehensive analysis of theoretical copper mineral leaching modeling techniques is developed, including industrial application using heap leaching. Heap leaching mainly requires size reduction in order to maximize the leaching
The addition of NaCl in the ammonium persulfateAPS (as an oxidant) leaching was investigated. APS has some advantages compared with conventional oxidants and its standard redox potential (E°) is 2.0 V. Effect of six parameters such as NaCl concentration, APS concentration, temperature, time, liquid–solid ration (L/S), and stirring
The influence of a number of leaching parameters such as sulfuric acid concentration, amount of H2O2 added, liquid to solid phase (l/s) parameter and process temperature on the copper leaching efficiency was investigated. Under optimized process conditions, 95.6% of the copper contained in the original sample of slag was transferred
The optimal conditions were found as follows: leaching temperature of 65–75 °C, leaching time of 1 h, and SMBS addition at 0.6 wt%. Copper, cobalt, and nickel were recovered from the leach solution via precipitation with sodium sulphide and magnesium oxide. Sodium sulphide was more selective than magnesium oxide.
The method employed comprised openair water leaching of weathered piles of copperbearing ore followed by precipitation of the copper by iron. A description of leaching and precipitation of copper at Rio Tinto in the 20th century is given by Taylor and Whelan. This method is essentially the same as that practiced at present by most of the
One way is to use grindcircuit roughing, which operates like a sponge on the particles and can increase the throughput of a ball mill by 20%. That process, which McKinsey said is offered by Connecticutbased Cidra Holdings, could add 1.24.6 million tonnes of global annual copper production by 2032, as well as cut energy use.
Copper Production. W.G. Davenport, in Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, 2001 4 The Future. The major trend in copper smelting and converting is towards improved capture of the SO 2 that is evolved from oxidizing CuFeS 2 and other copper sulfide minerals. Improved SO 2 capture benefits the environment and the resulting H 2 SO 4
Copper production by heap leaching, coupled with solvent extraction and electrowinning (SXEW), is a wellestablished technology, with an annual output of about 3.7 million tonnes (Mt) of copper metal. Ores presently amenable to copper heap leaching include copper oxides and secondary copper sulfides. Most copper deposits amenable to
temperatures. The highest leaching efficiency of copper was obtained when the optimum leaching temperature was 30 °C. The effect of the H 2 SO 4 concentration on the copper leaching efficiency is shown in Figure 1b. The leaching efficiency of copper, which is sensitive to the H 2 SO 4 concentration, first increased and then decreased with
The best copper extraction of 80.2% was found considering a pretreatment of 30 days, 25 kg/t of H 2 SO 4, 50 kg/t of NaCl, and a leaching solution concentration described previously with 2 g/L of Fe +2. The results showed the leaching of all copper oxide species and 20% of the copper sulfide species.

According to the findings, copper (II) and lead (II) leaching was enhanced by an increase in leaching temperature, stirring speed and acid concentration, as well as a drop in solidliquid ratio and pH. The results indicated that after 120 minutes of leaching in EDTA acid with a concentration of 1.5 M and a solid/liquid ratio of 5 g/200 mL, pH
