TECHNICAL FIELD. The present invention relates to a method of efficiently leaching copper by heap or dump leaching, in which leaching is carried out by irrigating acid over a layer of a copper sulfide ore, and particularly, a copper sulfide ore comprising ore type which is poorly soluble in a mineral acid, such as chalcopyrite or covellite.
Batch leaching test (Ref 2) showed that the total soluble copper concentration actually was decreased during leaching. However, decrease in cupric ion concentration (from 33.5 to 17.9 g/L) proved that remarkable sulfide mineral oxidation occurred and not only copper precipitation. The mineralogical leaching residue analysis showed the presence ...
2.0 Non Sulphide Soluble Copper: 2.1 Add 20 ml 5 % H 2 SO 4, wetting the entire sample. 2.2 Leach at room temperature for 60 minutes, agitating every 15 minutes. 2.3 Filter through a 12.5 cm, #1 Whatman paper into a 200 ml flask.
With the help of reinforced concrete, leaching vats of large dimensions may be constructed. In a plant now being built the vats are designed to hold each 10,000 tons of ore. It is expected that two days' percolation will suffice to render soluble 90 per cent, of the copper contained in this ore. Copper Leaching Costs
Valuable metal-bearing minerals can be converted into water-soluble metal sulfates in an oxygen atmosphere, and then separated from unreacted minerals by water leaching. However, there are few reports on the simultaneous extraction of valuable metals from low-grade nickel matte by this method, and the behavior and control mechanism of metal ...
LEACHING OF A ROASTED COPPER SULFIDE ORE Rosselle Kim P. Castillano, Wilfredo T. Gatdula Jr., Gin Derick L. Magno, Jhunalyn H. Parantar METE 157N: HYDROMETALLURGY LABORTORY ABSTRACT Sulphide ores of copper are insoluble in dilute sulphuric acid leaching solutions, but a very high extraction can be obtained if the copper ore is in the oxidized condition.
Copper extraction from primary copper sulfide ore from a typical porphyry copper deposit from Antofagasta, Chile, was investigated after leaching with a chloride-ferrous media at two temperatures. The study focused on whether this chemical leaching system could be applied at an industrial scale. Leaching tests were conducted in columns loaded with approximately 50 kg of agglomerated ore; the ...
There have been conflicting reports as to the extent that copper-chromium-arsenic (CCA) treatments leach from timber. In New Zealand, vineyards utilise CCA-treated posts at a rate of 579 posts per hectare. This represents a potential CCA burden on the soil of 12, 21, and 17 kg/ha, respectively, for …
copper to prepare it for market, is to refine it . by . one of the common refining schemes. The copper often occurs in the material to be leached in an unsoluble condition. In order to make the leach ing a success it is necessary to put this copper into a soluble condition. According to M.Eissler, in his
compatible with the copper leaching process because it did not extract copper below pH~36. Technically this problem could be solved by neutralizing the acid leach liquor or by leaching oxide copper with ammonia, but neither solution was economical. a molecule that extracted copper well from typical dump leach liquors (pH ~1.8) had to be built. The

Typical copper electrolyte solution produced from leaching of copper ore, contains 25–60 g/L of copper and 0.1–10 g/L of iron in the electrowinning stage (Evans, 2003; Habashi, 1998). These industrial processes operate in temperatures of 40–60 °C, pH of 1 and current densities in the range of 20–45 mA/cm 2 are used ( Moats and Free ...

The leaching of copper sulphide ores is carried out by means of bacterial leaching. Bioleaching. Microorganisms assisted leaching occurs, which function as catalysts. Bioleaching is a technique used to recover metals such as copper, silver and gold. This last application is also known as biohydrometallurgy . Practical applications
Although copper oxide and pure copper were first used to recover copper due to high solubility in ammonia, later on ammonia leaching of sulfide ores was also considered. The common method was the use of oxide roasting at high temperatures to convert sulfides to oxides in order to facilitate dissolution in ammonia solutions [ 1 ].
A correlation of the conditions for acid soluble copper determination with mineralogy, before and after the analysis, is therefore necessary to determine which Cu hosts have been solubilised by the assay, and to what extent. Copper diagnostic leaching is also applied, but does not appear to be properly validated by robust mineralogical analysis.
BacTech Enviromet Corp., in conjunction with Mintek, 14 has developed proprietary technologies for the high temperature leaching of copper concentrates. Working in conjunction with Industrias Penoles SA de CV, one of Mexico's largest and most diverse mining companies, they operated a 2.2-metric tons per day (mt/d) stirred-tank copper-concentrate bioleach demonstration plant in Monterrey ...
Leaching is the process of a solute becoming detached or extracted from its carrier substance by way of a solvent.. Leaching is a naturally occurring process which scientists have adapted for a variety of applications with a variety of methods. Specific extraction methods depend on the soluble characteristics relative to the sorbent material such as concentration, distribution, nature, and size.

minerals). The leaching experiments were performed using sulphuric acid solutions, whereby the kinetics of copper leaching was investigated with respect to acid concentration and solid to liquid ratio. The copper concentration in the leach solution ranged from 0.80 to 1.75 g dm-3. The total Cu recovery rate ranged from 30 to 56 %, whereas the

copper sulfides, inadequate contact of the leach solutions with soluble copper minerals (i.e. channeling) and poor oxygenation (O'Gorman et. al, 2004). The proposed in-situ project at Florence, Arizona will introduce dilute sulfuric acid solutions (99.7% water and 0.3% H 2 SO 4 by volume) via injection wells to the copper-
Heap leaching: It refers to a process which extracts uranium, copper and many other precious metals from their ores. 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.
The leaching rates of copper and iron enhanced with ultrasound energy were reached at 93.76% and 2.07% respectively and effectively separated copper from iron. Followed by applying lime to precipitate copper from the mixture of leachate and rinsing water produced by the copper and iron separation, about 99.99% and 1.29% of soluble copper and ...
Although, the solubility of aqueous chlorine is reported to decrease with increase in temperature (Pilone and Kelsall, 2006), the increase in copper leaching at higher temperature may be attributed to the enhanced diffusivity of chlorine (Marsden and House, 2006) and substantial increase in the leaching rate of CuCl s in HCl media (Winand, 1991).
gold leaching either using the same process at elevated temperature (40–60 °C), as patented by the authors, or using a cyanidation process. Copper selective leaching will reduce the gold losses due to a cementa-tion mechanism of gold in the presence of metallic copper as all of the metallic copper will dissolve in the pre-leaching stage.

All primary sulfide ores of copper sulfides, and most concentrates of secondary copper sulfides (being chalcocite), are subjected to smelting.Some 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 product ...
leaching process due to the dissolution of soluble elements into the solution, the mass of the residue can be determined by comparing the concentration of insoluble elements left after leaching to the initial concentration of elements in the raw material. For example barium can be used as reference element since it does not dissolve during
