A leaching solution of weak sulphuric acid is sprayed over the rock on the pad and allowed to percolate through to the base. As the solution passes through the heap, the copper-bearing mineral dissolves into solution. The copper-bearing solution accumulates in the collection pond and is piped to a nearby SX-EW plant for metal recovery. Leaching

However, drop of 0.03%, 0.24% and 1.15% was found in samples T3-0 to T5-0 compared with copper recovery in sample T1, which may be resulted from the low bacteria concentration in samples T3-0 to T5-0. Moreover, copper recovery is related importantly to free bacteria and attached bacteria during bioleaching (Yin et al., 2020a).

low quality copper from the leach solution on scrap iron, was practiced on oxide ore that was too low-grade for vat leaching, or low grade sulphide ore that had to be mined in order to expose the underlying high grade sulfide ore. Copper recovered from leaching low grade copper ores was considered a bonus and little effort had been made to fully

kinetics and solubility in the leach solution. The degree to which the ore and gangue minerals are soluble in the leach solution and the rates at which they dissolve determine copper leach kinetics and acid consumption. Of the common rock-forming minerals, only quartz, rutile, and zircon are insoluble in leach solutions.

The paper focuses on leaching of complex copper–cobalt–nickel ore from Mwinilunga district in Zambia, containing 0.6% Cu, 0.21% Co, 2.6% Fe, and 0.13% Ni. Mineralogical examination of the ore using scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that copper, cobalt, and nickel exist in fine particles of heterogenite and limonite mineral phases.

Leaching Copper Sulfide Minerals. Each of the copper sulfide minerals was leached by stages in the column reactor with aqueous chlorine solutions. The sample contained 1 gram of mineral and each leaching stage consumed about 0.01 mole of chlorine. Enough leaching stages were used to attain near complete copper extraction with each mineral.

For this reason, a new oxidative leaching procedure was included between the copper and gold leaching stages, to selectively leach the silver upstream and separate it from gold. Three oxidative leaching steps (1.0 M H 2 SO 4, 67 g H 2 O 2 /L, 10 % solids w/v, at 80 °C and 180 min) led to a Ag solubilization yield of approximately 97 %.
