To investigate the leaching characteristic of alkaline copper dioxide ore by ammonia producing bacteria the influence of the ammonia producing bacteria on the ore during the process was analyzed
Copper extraction refers to the methods used to obtain copper from its ores The conversion of copper consists of a series of physical and electrochemical processes Methods have evolved and vary with country depending on the ore source local environmental regulations and other factors
A method of leaching copper from copper sulphidecontaining concentrates such as chalcopyrite includes using pyrite as a alyst for ferric reduction in order to eliminate passivation of the chalcopyrite surface the process being carried out under conditions whereby the pyrite is not materially oxidized for example by maintaining the operating solution potential at a suitable level
Alena opens describing the heap leaching process for copper Copper ore is excavated from the ground crushed and then spread in uniform layers on a pad A slow trickle of sulfuric acid is distributed over the pile where it percolates to the bottom and a collection point
When processing copper through heap leaching vast quantities of ore and overburden overburdenSoil and rocks that have been moved out of the way to get to ore are called quotoverburden quot In areas where there are high concentrations of radionuclides in the rock overburden may have some enhanced radioactivity but not enough to mine and process
Leaching is the process by which constituents of a solid material are released into a contacting water phase Although some species may be more of an environmental concern than others the leaching process is indiscriminant such that all constituents e g major or minor matrix components as well as inorganic organic and radionuclide contaminants are released under a common set of chemical
