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 ...
In situ leaching offers a potentially attractive way to extract copper from the subsurface without costly fragmentation and processing. Applicability of in situ leaching is limited to deposits where sufficient permeability exists and where the copper and gangue mineralogy is amenable to leaching.
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 at a suitable level.

The ore used,was a low grade copper tailing. The are is highly si1icous, which fact is favorable to leaching, as the Si02 does not interfere with the re ...
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
Leaching offers an alternative to copper mining. First, the ore is treated with dilute sulphuric acid. 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).

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.
heap leaching of copper ores leaching oxidized copper ores effect of strength of acid in leaching. Heap Leach Pad Design. Because flow is downward in percolation leaching, the leach pad is the most important element of the solution containment system.The leach pad supports the ore heaps, collects solution flowing through the heaps, transports the solution laterally to drainage pipes or …
A few types of leaching processes used industrially for metallurgic purposes include: Heap leaching, a process used to extract copper, uranium, and some precious metals from their ores. Another process in which copper and uranium are recovered is via a process called In-Situ Leaching. Tank Leaching and Vat Leaching are processes wherein the ...
The process for leaching copper in the present invention will now be explained in detail with reference to FIG. 1. An acid leaching solution is applied to the top of a column apparatus (cylinder) 1 filled with copper sulfide 2. The acid leaching solution flows toward the lower portion of the column apparatus 1 while progressively leaching from ...

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.
A novel hydrometallurgical process was proposed for selective recovery of Cu, Ag, Au and Pd from waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). More than 99% of copper content was dissolved by using two consecutive sulfuric acid leaching steps in the presence of H2O2 as oxidizing agents.
Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals, copper, uranium, and other compounds from ore using a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and re-separate them after their division from other earth materials. Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the ...
Copper recoveries of 75 85% CuT were obtained after 180–250 days of total leaching time, depending on the copper grade, the mineralogical composition, and the acid consumption of the ore ...
ii. Copper Leaching: To have an idea of bioleaching process copper leaching by bacteria is described as an example. Covellite, chalcocite and chalcopyrite are generally used as copper ores for bioleaching processes. Apart from containing copper, the ores also contain other elements like iron, zinc and sulphur.
The leaching column experiment more accurately reflected the natural bioleaching behavior, and the results further verified that after 44 days of bioleaching, the leaching rates of vanadium and copper after adding biochar were increased by 15.3% and 14.5%, respectively.
The aim of this paper is to understand the factors that influence copper leaching from electronic scrap. It is revealed that the bioleaching is greatly influenced by process variables such as Fe 3+ concentration, quantity of stock culture added, and pH. Before starting the leaching process, A. ferrooxidans was cultivated for 3–4 days as stock culture, until the concentration of Fe 3+ ions ...

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.
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 ...
