Heap leaching & SX-EW is a method of extracting pure copper from oxide ore by placing the crushed ore on a pad in a heap and spraying the leaching solution, sulphuric acid, over the heap. The acid trickles through the heap and dissolves the copper mineral into solution. The leach solution collects at the bottom of the pad in a collection pond.

Read MoreThe above approach has been applied to the leaching of copper oxide ores and to a lesser extent secondary copper sulphide ores, where leaching can be carried out at ambient temperatures. The microbially assisted generation of ferric iron, at typical mine ambient temperatures, allows the recovery of copper from secondary copper sulphides,
Read MoreCopper ore is classified into three groups; primary copper sulfide, copper oxide and secondary copper sulfide. Leaching copper from primary copper sulfide, such as chalcopyrite, with sulfuric acid takes longer time than from copper oxide and secondary copper sulfide. As such, an oxidant is required to extract copper from chalcopyrite. In this study, column leaching tests were …

Read MoreModelling copper heap leaching Leaching implies a reaction between solid particles and a liquid phase. The "shrinking core" model describes the leaching process of an idealized oxide copper ore particle [1]. This particle reacts from the surface inwards. During the continuous reaction a leached rim is formed, composed mainly of gangue.
