Our solution may include mineral processing, innovative reactor and process technology for atmospheric leaching either in sulphate or chloride media and pressure leaching, depending on the raw ...
An investigation into the leaching behaviour of copper oxide …
The dissolution of carbonate gangue minerals, which are often ubiquitous in copper deposits, leads to the consumption of large amounts of acid during the leaching of such ores, which can make the process uneconomical (Habashi, 1970, Habashi, 1980, You-Cai et al., 2013).Table 1 shows the acid consumption and estimated time to complete …
