A method of leaching copper from copper sulphide-containing concentrates, such as chalcopyrite, includes using pyrite as a catalyst for ferric reduction in order to eliminate passivation of the chalcopyrite surface, the process being carried out under conditions whereby the pyrite is not materially oxidized, for example by maintaining the operating solution potential ,...
2 Heap Leaching In this technique, the ore is arranged in large heaps During heap leaching, an aqueous mixture of microorganisms is sprinkled over the leach pile Then, the solution is collected and processed to help recover even more metal 3 In-situ Leaching The ore remains in its natural state while the leaching process takes place...
Heap leaching It refers to a process which extracts uranium, copper and many other precious metals from their or In-situ leaching It is a process which recovers uranium and copper Tank leaching and vat leaching They are the processes in which the ores are to be placed in vats or large tanks that consist of the leaching solutions...
Leaching offers an alternative to copper mining First, the ore is treated with dilute sulphuric ac This trickles slowly down through the ore, over a period of months, dissolving copper to form a weak solution of copper sulphate The copper is then recovered by electrolysis This process is known as SX-EW solvent extraction/electrowinning...

for copper leaching is 01 kg NaCN/t If the quantity of copper extracted increases to 300 g/t then the cyanide requirement increases to 07 kg NaCN/t Viewed another way, since the 3 moles of cyanide that are complexed with each mole of copper in the leach solution are effectively inactive as far as gold leaching is concerned, the Maricunga...
Aug 18, 2020 0183 32 The major mining companies have long recognized that finding a way to increase copper recoveries when leaching low grade sulphide ores would generate a step change in industry economics ....

All primary sulfide ores of copper sulfides, and most concentrates of secondary copper sulfides being chalcocite , are subjected to smeltingSome vat leach or pressure leach processes exist to solubilise chalcocite concentrates and produce copper cathode from the resulting leachate solution, but this is a minor part of the market Carbonate concentrates are a relatively minor ,...
Sep 08, 2020 0183 32 Similar to copper oxide heap leaching, also using dilute sulfuric ac The final product is yellowcake \ U_3O_8\ and requires significant further processing to produce fuel-grade feed Acid leaching is sometimes also referred to as heap leaching Figure \ \PageIndex 1 \ because the leaching process can be performed on large heaps of ....
Dec 10, 2013 0183 32 The use of sulfuric acid in an acid leaching process is a conventional method for recovery of copper, but in some cases it is necessary to use other reactants such as ammonia Ammonia has been known as an effective leaching agent in hydrometallurgical procedures, although it has been less studied than the chemical agents used in leaching...

Since the copper ion is exchanged for hydrogen ion, the aqueous phase is returned to its original acidity and recycled to the leaching step of the process Meanwhile, the copper-bearing organic phase is stripped of its copper by contacting it with a strongly acidified aqueous solution at which time the copper is moved to the aqueous phase while ....
copper oxides have been in common use for some time Prior to the development of the Sherritt-Gordon process for nickel and cobalt in which copper is recovered as high grade copper sulfide, copper sulfides were economically recovered in a hydrometallurgical process only during the leaching of waste dumps Need for Hydrometallurgical Processes...
