Rucker, hydroGEOPHYSICS, Inc., USA Shawn Calendine, hydroGEOPHYSICS, Inc., USA Abstract Structural uniformity, that is, the degree to which hydraulic properties are homogenized over space, will affect the degree to which ore is effectively leached. Nonuniform ore has been shown to form preferential

Read MoreCopper recovery in solution, along with a high redox potential, was established faster in the mesophilic column but leveled off quickly over time. Copper extraction showed that the 6 g/l chloride column has the highest metallurgical performance (83% CuT) with 4 extra points of copper recovery over the 1.5 g/L and 3 g/l Cl-columns. These results are a good indication that comparable copper recovery rates –to the

For the original copper ore with the largest content in copper ore, the leaching time is long and the effect is poor [4]. Trace impurities have a decisive influence on the conductivity of copper.

Read More2020-10-27 Secondary copper sulfide ore is easy to oxidize and more difficult to float than original copper ore. As for the grinding and floating process, it is more advantageous to adopt the stage grinding and floating process for refractory copper ore, such as the re-grinding and re-separation of coarse concentrate, re-grinding and re-separation of bulk concentrate, and separate treatment of medium ore.

Read More2021-3-31 Over the last 30 years, the recovery of copper via heap leaching of amenable ores has advanced rapidly to account for approximately 20% of world copper production. Ore-containing copper oxides or secondary copper sulfides are easily treated by heap leaching or heap bioleaching technologies, respectively.
