stream in the process flowsheet, and the complex structures of the flowsheet itself. The design of this simulation program was aimed at solving the second of the above problems. The modelling of hydrometallurgical unit operations is in itself a large task, and research in this field is active.
· Chalcopyrite ores are usually processed by means of hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical processes, but due to environmental aspects and the possibility of increased exploitation of mixed and lower grade ores and relatively small isolated deposits, there has been a worldwide upsurge of interest in the hydrometallurgical processes of this ore as compared to .
hydrometallurgical treatment of lowgrade concentrates and middling streams produced at some operations, which are currently blended with highergrade concentrates in an increasingly difficult balancing exercise to produce smeltercompliant feed. Treatment of these streams outside the smelting route would also allow the milling and flotation

FLOWSHEET OPTIONS CRUSHING FOLLOWED BY DUMP OR HEAP LEACHING WITH CYANIDE This method of gold recovery is the preferred method for treating lowgrade gold ores because of its low cost. Between 1020% of the gold recovered each year from primary sources is extracted by this technique. The advantages of this process are: • Simplicity
· Lowgrade ore is ballmilled before being agglomerated and dumpleached to recover its copper content. The Detroit Copper Company started mining at Morenci, 16km south of Silver City, Arizona, in 1872. Copper Queen Consolidated Mining bought the property in 1885, with the company name changed to Phelps Dodge in 1917.
A flowsheet has been developed for the production of rich concentrates of precious and nonferrous metals by a complex treatment of the flotation products from South African platinumcontaining chrome ores. The procedure involves: autoclave leaching, roasting, hydrochlorination and precious metal recovery by sorption. Autoclave oxidative leaching of the initial material allows the nonferrous ...

Gravity concentration of gold, Agricola (p16), ... Leaching is a hydrometallurgical method that permits the beneficiation of gold ores from
Nickel ore imported from the AsiaPacific region will also continue to be ... hydrometallurgical process plant to treat both limonite and saprolite ores to ... Cawse flowsheet with partial neutralisation, followed by separation of the barren tailings from the nickel
Pressure acid leaching in horizontal agitated autoclaves is common to all new hydrometallurgical laterite treatment processes. Because only limited ore upgrading is possible, large volumes of ...
ØThe ore will be treated by a hydrometallurgical process involving acid – seawater leaching with recovery of copper and cobalt metal hode, zinc sulfate crystal and eventually manganese carbonate precipitate. Ø7,500 tpd of ore to produce – 60,000 tpa Cu – 2100 tpa Co – 36,000 tpa 2 O – +100,000 tpa MnCO 3
Once chalcopyrite is concentrated (separated from the gangue), it requires further treatment to extract copper via chemical (hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurcial) methods. A list of some valuable minerals is provided in Table 1. Table 1. Some Common Metalliferous Ore Minerals Metal Ore Mineral Chemical Formula Aluminum AlBauxite 2 O 3 3H20
hours. In many copper hydrometallurgical operations, where PLS compositions do not fluctuate noticeably over short periods of time, effective optimised control is readily achieved using this operating philosophy. Given the Kansanshi flowsheet, maintaining optimum copper mass transfer while minimizing iron coextraction, is more challenging.
Completion of a flotation minipilot plant to treat one tonne of ore ... Hydrometallurgical flowsheet For personal use only. ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 11 June 2013 Hydrometallurgical Plant Loion Study In early 2013, the Company completed a loion study for the hydrometallurgical plant.
Flowsheet Caue Iron Ore Processing pureswde. Iron Ore Manufacturing Flowsheet Timebreak Iron ore processing flowsheet, iron ore beneficiation plant iron ore processing depend mainly on the type of rom ore feed and optimum productDry screening into lumps and fines is practised for high quality flaky ore and blue dust, because, if wet treatment is used, a substantial part of good quality ...
Pyrometallurgical Process. Pyrometallurgical processes based on oxide reduction to the metal or nonoxygencontaining ions, followed by electrorefining or purifiion by exchange reactions and obtaining of metallic actinides. From: Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, 2001. Download as PDF.
Hydrometallurgical methods based on leaching and precipitation rather than smelting play an important role in meeting the requirements for the treatment of complex3ores. Nitric acid as a direct leacher in the decomposition of complex ore has been a ~ h i e v e d The . ~ present investigation is directed to the electrolytic extraction of zinc5' and leads39from various baths.
consequently upgrades the ore concentrates for pyrometallurgical treatment. Impurity minerals in copper concentrate The common impurity minerals usually found in association with copper ores include tetrahedrite (Cu 12Sb 4S 13), jamesonite (Pb 4FeSb 6S 14), bournonite (PbCuSbS 3), tennantite (Cu 12As 4S 13) and enargite (Cu 3AsS 4).
compare various options for treating the lowgrade ore concentrate (Mwase, 2009). This proposed flowsheet has been conceptualised for integration into a standard platinum process which involves milling, flotation, smelting, acid pressure leaching of the matte and finally high pressure chloride leaching of highgrade PGM residue material.
The presence of copper in the ore reacting with cyanide requires oxygen similar to gold, according to Elsners equation. If the ore has 7 ppm Au and 460 ppm copper then it is not hard to see the effect on the oxygen demand. Oxygen sparging will assist, however if .
