Later, Stanković introduced a copper extraction process involving two metallurgical stages: an initial acidic agitated leaching followed by flotation of the insoluble solids from the leaching step. In the first phase, he applied parameters of 0.2 M H 2 SO 4, an S:L ratio of 1:2, agitation at 300 RPM, a temperature of 20 °C, and a 1-h ...

The "Gall-Copper Process" was recorded as being used during the Song Dynasty (960-1271AD). Copper was precipitated from solution by dipping iron into the blue vitriol solution - a process identified as early as 150 BC in China. 6 Therefore, presumably, the recognition of a natural copper leaching process can be identified as early as that date.
