The smelter for sulfide ores produces sulfur dioxide gas. This is scrubbed from the flue gases to make sulfuric acid for leaching copper from oxide ores. Scrubbing sulfur dioxide also protects the environment. For example: FeO(s) + SiO 2 (s)→ 2 (slag) This is very similar to the removal of impurities in the blast furnace.
A column leaching study, coupled with acid deposition simulation, was conducted to investigate the leaching of potentially toxic metals (PTM) from zinc smelting slag materials (SSM) after being incubated in an acid Alfisol for 120 days at room temperature. Two SSMs (SSMA: acidic, 10 yrs exposure wi .

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for leaching copper from concentrates including enargite and chalcopyrite with efficiency and low cost at real operation level, and a method for recovering copper using the : In a method for leaching copper, acid leaching treatment is performed on concentrates containing at least either one of enargite or chalcopyrite, which is primary ...
Copper hydrometallurgy is a branch of metallurgy method to extract copper directly from those difficulttoconcentrate copper oxide ore. Traditional copper hydrometallurgy process typically consists of atmospheric leaching, solvent extraction (SX) and electrowinning (EW). It can produce either copper hode or copper sulphate crystal.
· Effect of time on the efficiency of solder leaching by acetic acid. Figure 1 illustrates an effect of leaching time on the metal leaching from the Sn–Cu solder. The metal leaching increased with an increase in incubation time. In 20 h, 49 (± ) and 54 (± ) % metal leaching was observed for Cu and Sn, respectively.
Heap leaching is the method most commonly chosen for copper recovery from oxide ores. An acidic solution is used to leach the metal, dissolving the copper into what is referred to as a pregnant leach solution (PLS).This solution is collected and purified by solvent extraction (SX).
· Acidic solutions, like acetic acid, may not be sufficiently similar to acidic foods that are composed of a complex array of chemistries. While overall, results suggest that Ni and Cr are leached from stainless steel into nonfood acidic solutions and foodstuffs during cooking processes ( 15 – 18 ), the estimated Ni or Cr contribution from cookware to a serving of acidic food is not well ...
Commercial appliion of bacterial leaching began in the late 1950s at the Kennecott Utah Copper Company's Bingham Canyon Mine near Salt Lake City, Utah where it was observed that blue coppercontaining solutions were running out of waste piles that contained copper sulfide minerals something that should not have happened in the absence of powerful oxidizing agents and acid.
Copper was leached in ammonia/nitric acid solution at room temperature. The effects of time, ammonia concentration, nitric acid/ ammonia ratio and pH, on the leaching kinetic of copper were investigated. Nitric acid was considered as alytic element to enhance copper leaching kinetic. Using nitric acid, copper recovery was improved by 35% ...
or copper hydroxy carbonate [Cu2 (OH)2CO3 ] layer will begin to form within a few days. Eventually, the bore of the copper pipe will be covered with a stable protective patina of copper oxides overlaid with a continuous copper hydroxy carbonate layer, as shown in Fig. 1. The copper corrosion product layers, once properly formed, are normally ...
leaching step and that produced in the extraction of copper from the pregnant leach solution (PLS) is available for use in a copper heap leaching unit process. In this way, an acid credit to the operating cost is derived (Dreisinger, 2006). Secondly, it is worth noting that the POX residue can be leached in
· After crushing oxidetype copper ores, such as azurite (2CuCO 3 · Cu(OH)3), brochantite (CuSO 4), chrysocolla (CuSiO 3 · 2H 2 O) and cuprite (Cu2O), dilute sulfuric acid is applied to the surface of the material on leaching pads or in leaching tanks. As the acid trickles through the ore, it combines with the copper, producing a weak copper ...

LEACHING OXIDIZED COPPER ORES: EFFECT OF STRENGTH OF ACID IN LEACHING SOLVENT1 By John D. Sullivan2 and G. L, Oldright3 INTRODUCTION In leaching copper ores knowledge of the rate of dissolution of the copper minerals and of the impurities is desirable. With knowledge of these two factors and data as to what
acidic leaching of copper and tin from used Leaching Equipment Blogger Socalled vat leaching was practiced in oxide copper ore processing prior to 1980, and the vats were typically 53 by 20 by m (175 by 67 by 18 ft) and extracted about 8200 Mg (9000 tons) of ore on a 13day cycle.
leaching conditions must aim on shorter leaching times as well as on a higher copper extraction rate, thus to an increase in copper productivity and lower costs per ton of copper. Because leaching processes include interactions between solid (ore) and liquid (sulfuric acid) phases such improvements may be achieved by the use of wetting agents.

These may be mined copper minerals that are in oxidized form minerals such as Azurite (2CuCO 3 · Cu(OH)3), Brochantite (CuSO 4), Chrysocolla (CuSiO 3 · 2H 2 O) and Cuprite (Cu2O), residual copper in old mine waste dumps whose sulfide minerals have been oxidized by exposure to the air or sulfididic copper minerals that have been oxidized by another new technology bacterial leaching.
flotation. Low copper extractions both from the slag and the slag flotation tailings indie that sulphuric acid is not a suitable reagent for leaching these materials, at room temperature. This conclusion is in line with the study by Banza et al. (2002) where the leaching of copper smelter slag with sulphuric acid .
A heap leaching method to recover copper from a primary copper sulphide mineral wherein the mineral is leached in an acidic chloride/sulphate solution in the presence of oxygen with the surface potential of the mineral below 600 mV (vs. SHE) to cause dissolution of the copper sulphide.
Over the years, the generation of Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment has been significantly increased, which leads to environmental and economic concerns. Thus, it is fundamental to develop treatment methods for these residues. Printed Circuit Boards are essential components of electronic equipments. In this sense, printed circuit boards are composed of remarkable metals, in particular ...
metal ores (<1% copper, <1g/ton gold, < % nickel) previously considered uneconomical, became feasible with introduction of heap leaching technologies (Marsden, 2009). In consideration of ore types, a generalized diagram showing the applicable ore beneficiation technologies for oxide and sulphide ores versus ore grade is given in Figure 2.
