Jul 29, 2013The Vat Leaching Process Vat leaching can be described as leaching in a bathtub inside a building. Treatment of ore is site-specific as determined by metallurgical tests. Bench scale metallurgical testing of ores for their amenability to vat leaching is similar to that for heap leaching. First, bottle-roll tests of finely ground material are run
Get PriceHeap leaching process is sometimes preferred instead of the in situ technique. This is because the recovery of uranium in much higher with heap leaching. Bioleaching of Other Metals: Besides copper and uranium, bioleaching technique is also used for extraction of other metals such as nickel, gold, silver, cobalt, molybdenum and antimony.
Get PriceIn an operating cyanide heap leach, copper will begin to leach from fresh ore on the heap, and if unchecked can build up in solution to levels that begin to affect gold recovery and cyanide consumption, in turn affecting project economics. The problem of copper leaching is compounded when multiple lifts are placed on the heap (as is usually the
Get Priceleaching pyrite rich gold-copper concentrates using GlyCat™. Cyanidation of these types of deposits usually are problematic. GlyCat™ process was invented as a process to reduce cyanide consumption while maintaining gold recovery for gold ores from deposits which contain nuisance copper.

Get PriceDemand for copper is growing in the world,which makes it increasingly necessary to process low-grade ores and tailings that used to be considered as wastes. The development and application of bioleaching by acidophilic chemolithotrophic microorganisms, which obtain energy from the oxidation of sulfide minerals and use carbon dioxide for constructive metabolism, has been a major approach for
Get PriceCopper 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 carried out using

Get PriceMICROBIAL MINING. The recovery of copper from the drainage water of mines was probably a widespread practice in the Mediterranean basin as early as 1000 B.C. Although such mining operations are difficult to document, it is known that the leaching of copper on a large scale was well established at the Rio Tinto mines in Spain by the 18th century.
Get PriceThe continuous depletion of high grade gold ores has shifted research focus towards the processing of low grade, complex ores containing impurities such as copper which is detrimental to the traditional cyanidation process. Alkaline glycine solution selectively leached copper and gold over impurity elements such as Fe, Ca, Mg and Si from copper
Get PriceOct 20, 2014The Metallurgy of Cyanide Gold Leaching – An Introduction. Leaching gold with a cyanide solution remains the most widely used hydrometallurgical process for the extraction of gold from ores and concentrates. Despite the difficulties and hazards of working with cyanide, no other process has yet been proven to be an economic viable alternative.
Get PriceThe acid strength of the leach solution varies proportionately with the rate of leaching,-the grade of the copper ore leached, and the amount of acid-consuming gangue present in the ore.10 The pregnant liquors produced by heap leaching are generally much higher in copper content than those produced by dump leaching because ore grades are higher
Get PriceSulphide ore processing occurs through the 2.8Mtpa processing plant via conventional comminution, grinding and flotation to produce a clean copper concentrate. Nifty is a fly in–fly out operation with access provided via a sealed airstrip on site, serviced regularly by flights from Perth.

Get Priceto leach copper oxides, zinc ores, phosphate ores among many others [3, 4]. The leaching rate depends on various parameters such as temperature, time, pH, particle size, concentration of lixiviant, slurry density and agitation speed [2]. Due to the depletion of high grade ores, there has been a
Get PriceThe heap leaching technology has seen substantial growth over the past few decades, becoming a key process in mining; NAUE, a group specializing in geosynthetic liners, assesses that over 30% of copper and gold produced each year is beneficiated via heap leaching, up from only about 3% decades earlier.
Get PriceA few types of leaching processes used industrially for metallurgic purposes include: Heap leaching, a process used to extract copper, uranium, and some precious metals from their ores. Another process in which copper and uranium are recovered is via a process called In-Situ Leaching. Tank Leaching and Vat Leaching are processes wherein the

Get PriceThe zinc is recovered by electrolysis as it is in the roast leach process already described. Leaching of copper from ores has focused mainly on oxide ore types. Most oxide copper ores are not amenable to present-day flotation techniques and are not rich enough for direct smelting. Thus, the winning of copper from these ores must involve
