The first break arising in copper consumption may be due to the supply shocks caused by the CIPEC in 1975 and advances in the SX-EW copper production process in 1977 (Bartos, 2002). Demand shocks ...
Copper was extracted on asphalt-lined leach pads and recovered in the first solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) plant in Latin America. Production capacity was 33,000 metric tonnes per year (mtpy) of high purity copper cathodes. At the time, the use of solvent extraction followed by electrowinning for low grade, impure leach solutions ...
and electrowinning (EW). At the time, the copper option was considered with the assumption of the availability of copper concentrate produced from the neighbouring Sue Dianne deposit, also owned by Fortune Minerals, which contains a higher grade copper resource than NICO. Gold was recovered by carbon-in-leach (CIL).
Copper recovery using leach/solvent extraction/electrowinning technology 65 (Figure 2) and a catalytic amount of LIX 63, was introduced in 19657 and in March 1968 the first commercial copper L/SX/EW operation, the Bluebird plan of Ranchers Exploration and Development Corporation, came on line1. Copper recovery by L/SX/EX in 1968

of 5-10 g/L chloride (the PLATSOLTM process), followed by solid/liquid separation, gold plus PGM's recovery from solution, conventional Cu SX/EW and recycling of the copper raffinate to the autoclave. The concentrate tested was a NorthMet bulk flotation concentrate assaying 14.7% Cu, 3.05% Ni, 0.14% Co, 26.7% S, 1.4 g/t Au, 2.2
approximately 15 to 25% of U. S. copper. The recovery of copper through passive in-situ methods such as those used at Bingham Canyon during the 1880s eventually led to a more active approach, where water from underground mine sumps was applied to the ores and the resulting copper-bearing solutions collected and the copper recovered.
The atmospheric leach residue would then be leached for recovery of gold and silver. A second route involves roasting of the concentrate followed by acid leaching and SX-EW for copper recovery. The leach residue from the roaster calcine would then be leached for recovery of gold …
The attractions of copper SX/EW are now well known – it is highly selective, can treat a wide range of copper concentrations, produces high purity …
Copper recovery by SX-EW can be explained as a 4-step process. Figure 1 shows the flow of solutions and products within the SX-EW circuit. The steps are as follows: 1) LEACH Low grade copper ore is leached, producing solid waste and copper PLS 2) EXTRACTION
pregnant solution. In this case, the Zn SX/EW circuit and the Cu SX/EW circuit are set in parallel. In the third case copper and zinc are extracted into the pregnant solution. Then, the copper is first recovered in the Cu Zn-SX circuit and the raffinate goes to iron removal stage and next to the Zn SX/EW circuit for zinc recovery.
This gold electrowinning cell was designed and manufactured by SX Kinetics for a customer in Spain. This EW cell with 9 cathodes and 10 anodes is sized to produce up to 100 kg of gold per week. Copper or Cobalt Electrowinning Pilot Plant: 0.5 kg per day. Electrowinning pilot plant that has the option to use anode diaphragms.
Gold and silver recovery is consistently 90%. The new process for both copper and gold/silver recovery has been successfully tested on a continuous pilot plant scale for several thousand hours, on five different Cu concentrates; this is over three years work in total. Careful accounting of cyanide consumption during

In this month's Spotlight Feature Article, from the pages of the March 2013 issue of International Mining magazine, John Chadwick looks at the application of heavy media separation (HMS), flotation developments, cleaning up conventional pyro metallurgy, and some innovative technologies for maximising efficiencies in copper processing and treatment.
The SX/EW Process has its roots in analytical chemistry where it is used to separate one metallic ion from another. It was first used as a large-scale process during World War II for the recovery of uranium from its ores. The key to the process is the development of organic extractants that are specific to the metal to be extracted.
A Outotec SX/EW plant similar to the one ordered for Taseko's Florence copper project in Arizona. Outotec announced during MINExpo in Las Vegas last week that it …
Prior to the development of the solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX/EW) process in 1959 (see Copper the Green Metal), the only way to recover copper from an acid solution was by a process called cementation. In this process, copper was in effect "traded" for iron by contacting the copper-bearing solution with scrap iron.
pit oxide copper mine with processing via heap leaching and solvent extraction-electrowinning ("SX/EW") recovery to produce copper cathodes. From 2006, it transitioned to an underground sulphide mine with processing via standard flotation to produce a copper concentrate at rates of over 50,000 tonnes of contained copper per year.
where very high gold recovery is needed or, in the case of leach solutions carrying either high levels of copper or organic compounds which foul carbon. In addition, the gold inventory carried in the SX-EW recovery process is less than that in typical carbon in column or Merrill Crowe recovery …
In-situ recovery (ISR) is a non-invasive mining method whereby boreholes or "delivery wells" are drilled into an ore-body, through which a dilute solution is pumped to dissolve the target minerals or metals. The solution moves through the rock in a controlled manner to nearby recovery wells, where it is pumped back to the surface for ...
The pilot plant also contains a solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) section and has successfully produced high purity copper cathodes as a proof of concept. Excellent leach results with recovery rates well over 90% have been attained, the company said.
It is instructive to compare the US SX-EW copper production in tonnes as well as a percentage of total US mined copper over the same time interval (Fig. 2, Fig. 3).As can be seen, both Fig. 2, Fig. 3 have a remarkably similar configuration, with the exception of the last time period 1998–2000. The data suggest four main periods of SX-EW production within the 30-year data set.
copper sulphate to an EW plant at another location with lower power unit cost. The disadvantage is the problem of recycling the sulphuric acid regenerated in EW back to the leach/SX facility. Cementation Cementation with scrap iron is a long-established process which largely met its demise with the advent of SX/EW.

These plants have fully functional SX/EW plants available for further copper recovery as electrowon cathode. In these cases, it may make sense to adopt a copper–gold concentrate hydrometallurgy process as the front end of the process plant and further utilize existing capital. 7. Economics. Smelter economics are more scale sensitive than ...
