Heap leaching is a widely used extraction method for low-grade minerals, including those of copper, gold, silver, and uranium. ... The results also show that the design (height of the heap) and the operation (leaching time) are problems coupled from the economic perspective, and thus the search for optimal conditions, from the economic ...Web
Sulfuric acid solution containing ferric iron is the extractant for industrial heap bioleaching of copper sulfides. To start a heap bioleaching plant, sulfuric acid is usually added to the irrigation solution to maintain adequate acidity (pH 1.0–2.0) for copper dissolution. An industrial practice of heap bioleaching of secondary copper sulfide ore …Web
preparation. However, at about half of the heap leaching operations, ore is crushed and agglomerated prior to placement on the heap to increase permeability of the heap and maintain the high pH needed for leaching to occur (Bureau of Mines 1986). Agglomeration entails mixing the crushed ore with portland cement, lime, ash, or other materials.Web
Heap leaching is one of the most validated technologies to extract copper from different ore types, such as oxides and sulfides. In 2018, around 25% of the copper produced from Chile, the major copper producer worldwide, was generated from heap leaching plants [], reaching 1.5 Mt.Even though the copper production expected from …Web
The paper describes an optimum design of a drainage system for a heap leaching structure which has positive impacts on both mine environment and mine economics.
