The use of bacteria in leaching copper sulfide and other metallic sulfides has been investigated and described. The presence of certain bacteria in the leach solutions or within the dumps promotes and accelerates oxidation of pyrite to ferric sulfate and sulfuric acid and the oxidation of copper sulfide minerals to copper sulfate.

Copper pressure leaching process consists of the following main steps: Concentrate repulping. Pressure oxidation of sulfides. Hot curing. Solid-liquid separation. Neutralization. Copper solvent extraction. Copper electrowinning. Water balance management and bleed treatment.

The Albion process is an atmospheric leaching process for processing zinc concentrate, refractory copper and refractory gold. The process is important because it is the most cost-effective method currently in use for extracting both the zinc and lead from concentrates that contain high lead levels (7% or greater). Zinc and lead often occur together and large remaining zinc deposits contain ...

leaching of copper-bearing ores in the U.S The dissolved copper recovered by this operation was derived from the natural oxidation and leaching of sulfide mineralization in a major porphyry copper deposit located in the headwaters of Bingham Creek. This is the present site of the large-scale, open pit operation at Bingham Canyon, which

copper sulphide leaching options as alternatives to the more conventional pyrometallurgical processing route of copper sulphides. Three copper sulphide leaching and refining processes are discussed: total pressure oxidation, ferric sulphate leaching and copper chloride leaching. The effect of mineralogy

A combination of hydrometallurgical processes of high-pressure oxidative leaching (HPOL), solvent extraction (SX), and electrowinning (EW) were utilized to recover copper from mine tailings which ...

During the spontaneous oxidative H2SO4 leach, the dissolution of gangue minerals and phase transformations of copper minerals successfully upgraded copper concentrate from 41.1 to 50.5 wt% at 90 °C, while copper dissolution was maintained at less than 7.7%. KW - Copper concentrate upgrade. KW - HSO leach. KW - Impurities removal

The objective of this study is to compare the reaction kinetics of copper leaching from chalcopyrite in acidic ferric sulfate media with (UAL) and without (non-UAL) ultrasound assistance. Four leaching parameters were evaluated and optimized. The parameter with the strongest effect was temperature, followed by ultrasonic power, the solid-to-liquid ratio (S/L), and acid concentration.

Oxidative leaching resulted in complete dissolution of copper and tin after 60 or 90 minutes of thermally treated samples. Pyrolysis and combustion have positive effects on metals dissolution in comparison with samples without thermal pretreatment. Moreover, the dissolution of metals is more effective and needs shorter leaching time.

Copper extraction versus leaching time without (0%) and with ultrasound assistance at three power amplitudes (leaching conditions: a 10% solid-to-liquid ratio (S/L), 0.5 M sulfuric acid ...

In this study, a spontaneous oxidative H 2 SO 4 leaching process was applied to upgrade and purify copper flotation concentrate from IOCG deposits via smart utilization of the oxidative Fe 3+ ions dissolved from hematite minerals. The effects of both leaching temperature (30, 60 and 90 °C) and residence time (up to 24 h) were investigated.

In this study, we report the recovery of metals from copper smelting dust by oxidation leaching and fractional precipitation technology. Under the optimum conditions, the leaching efficiencies achieved for Cu, As, Fe, Cd, and Zn are 93.4%, 94.2%, 39.7%, 98.1%, and 90.7%, respectively. Fractional precipitation technology is then employed for the recovery of Cu, As, Zn, and Cd from the leaching ...

Leaching is followed by a neutralization step and then copper solvent extraction and electrowinning. Gold and silver can be recovered by adding a lime boil step before cyanide leaching. The Copper Pressure Oxidation Plant is an Outotec proprietary technology for impure concentrate refining.

Copper Leaching Practices. For centuries small amounts of copper have been recovered from acid mine-drainage waters. In recent years, the expansion of copper-bearing waste dump leaching for copper recovery has established a technological basis that is rapidly converting the art of copper leaching into a science.

Under high enough reaction temperature and low phenol-to-catalyst mass ratio, the copper leaching reduces remarkably. At 190 degrees C in the presence of 100 mL aqueous solution of 4.29 g x L(-1) of phenol and 2.5 g catalyst, the copper leaching was only 0.96 mg x L(-1) after 2 h of reaction.

In this research, copper smelting slag was processed under a pressurized oxygen atmosphere and low acidity conditions to achieve the selective extraction of copper and zinc and to let the iron and silicon in the slag be transformed and reconstructed into hematite and amorphous silica, respectively. The composition and the structure of the raw materials and the leaching residue were ...

The leaching of lead and copper from plumbing materials is a source of metals in drinking water and is a public health concern. This work investigated the influence of free chlorine (HOCl/OCl-) on the level of copper in water in contact with the solid metal, and proposed an oxidation-dissolution mechanism to explain copper leaching.Experimental results are presented for the leaching of copper ...
