Column Width: Background: ... Maximum extraction of copper during leaching was achieved (82.18%), ... The noble metal leaching method, using ammonium or sodium thiosulfate solutions in the presence of sulfite ions and copper ions in an alkaline medium, is a well-known global practice. It is used to process cuprous, manganese, …
Extraction of copper from suitable ore by leaching methods is generally assumed to cost less than the combined expense of concentration, smelting, and refining, and experimental data tend to confirm this opinion. At the Butte-Duluth plant, which is handling in excess of 100 tons of oxidized ore daily, the copper is said to cost $0.085 …
Copper (as nanoparticles with an average diameter of 50 nm) and other base metals were extracted via oxidative acid leaching with high efficiency. Thiocyanate was employed for the first time as a green and economical reagent for the extraction of gold from pretreated WPCB.
Heap leaching generates a pregnant leach solution (PLS) containing 1–6 g/L Cu²⁺, which is sent to solvent extraction and electrowinning for copper production.
Recent works suggest that the use of ionic liquids in the copper solvent extraction industry is feasible. However, the reports did not use real solutions (or synthetic solutions with …
For the low-grade copper sulfide ores with 0.99% of copper, of which 41.5% was primary copper sulfide, and 54.5% was secondary copper sulfide, well-controlled column bioleaching on a novel equipment was carried out to investigate the optimal conditions of pre-leaching, particle sizes of ores, temperature, spray intensity and strain …
Chalcopyrite is well known as being refractory to conventional leaching approaches at atmospheric pressure. The current study investigated a hybrid approach using aqueous ammonia as a pH modifier for glycine-based lixiviant systems to leach copper from chalcopyrite while maintaining surface refreshment using ceramic media at …
Solvent extraction of copper from Pregnant Leach Solution was carried out using LIX 984N-C. Effect of different operational factors such as equilibrium pH (pHe), extractant concentration, strip ...

The column bioleaching tests indicated that the copper extraction increased with the decrease of particle size, but excessive fine particles affected the heap's permeability in the column. After 66 days of column bioleaching, the copper extractions of agglomerates composed of fine-grained ores from HPGR and jaw crusher were 55.82% …
The study of copper (Cu) recovery is crucial for the entire recovery process of waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs), and Cu can be leached efficiently via a sulfuric acid–hydrogen peroxide (H2SO4–H2O2) system. To achieve high Cu recovery, it is important to evaluate the parameters of the leaching process and understand the Cu leaching kinetics. …
This study presents the novel idea of a cyanide-free leaching method, i.e., glycine-ammonia leaching in the presence of permanganate, to treat a low-grade and copper-bearing gold tailing. Ammonia played a key role as a pH modifier, lixiviant and potential catalyst (as cupric ammine) in this study. Replacing ammonia with other pH …
Bioleaching is a mature technology, which is widely employed commercially in the leaching of primary sources of metals (ores, concentrates, and mine residues). The current work discussed the …
In 2001, there were 13 companies using bioleaching and 30 companies in all using leach/SXEW technology. In 2001, bioleaching constituted approximately 10% of Chilean copper production and heap and dump …
Leach column 7 reached a recovery of 86.5% of soluble copper and had a value of 47.86 lbs/ton for acid consumption, the copper recovery for leach column 8 was 89% of soluble copper with 52.82 …
The operating cost was shown to reduce to US$5.36/kg to US$3.66/kg, for a similar recovery range, if the current SX and EW facility can absorb the bio heap leaching solution (Scenario 2). Using the operating cost data and the current copper selling price, the ore cut-off grade as a function of copper extraction efficiency was identified.
This study, which covered a set of leaching processes at a few stages, investigated the inclusion of iron found in mill scale, which is a waste of the iron-steel industry, in the solution as FeClx=2,3 in the presence of HCl and the conditions of using this solution with an oxidizing character in extraction of metals from chalcopyrite …
Recent works suggest that the use of ionic liquids in the copper solvent extraction industry is feasible. However, the reports did not use real solutions (or synthetic solutions with various elements). This fact remains poorly established, and the interaction efficiencies are still under study. The objective of this research is to explore the extraction and stripping …
This work studied the effect of acid concentration on copper extraction using a leaching system comprised of flooded differential ore columns, ... The ore samples were sieved, selecting the mineral ranging between 9/16″ and 3/8″ to leach in the flooded columns. These samples were leached setting the acid concentration at different values ...
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday …
ore also is reported. The leaching tests have been carried out in column irrigated with raffinate under ambient conditions. A size distribution with a P80 of 17 mm is used. A maximum of 72% of copper extraction is obtained using discard brine and 68% using seawater. The use of discard brine and seawater are favorable in all the tests …

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 minerals interaction and the placement of an impermeable base to prevent leaching loss and the
In addition to purification, solvent extraction studies were also essential to enrich the copper concentration in the solution as the concentrations of copper in the leach liquors are in the level of 0.54 g/L (column leaching) and 0.74 g/L (reactor leaching). The extraction of copper was carried out in a single stage using 10% LIX 622N at A:O ...
