whole ore leaching impractical or uneconomic. The ultra-fine gold particles associated with sulfide minerals are often too small to recover by gravity and very expensive to liberate by grinding. Typically, sulfide-associated gold is recovered by froth flotation. A typical sulfide-associated gold flowsheet is presented below in Figure 2:
Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) is commonly used ore in production of copper, but leaching of this ore is very slow and inefficient due to "passivation" during leaching at atmospheric conditions.In this study, in order to overcome drawbacks of the passivation layers, the concentrate supplied from Eti Bakır A.Ş. Küre Plant in Turkey was roasted at 600 °C for 1 …
The effect of mechanical activation on the copper leaching of copper sulfide, CuS, in 1 M HNO3 (slurry density: 10 g/L) was investigated by analysis of the leachability and the apparent activation energy. Mechanical activation produced an increase in the leachability and a decrease of the activation energy in this leaching reaction. The leachability increased …

In the leaching of sulfide-bearing ores with sulphuric acid solutions fully and with relatively high kinetics involves leaching of copper from its oxidized minerals - malachite [Cu 2 (OH) 2 CO 3], azurite [Cu 3 (OH) 2 (CO 3) 2] and grisoli (CuSiO 3 2H 2 O), albeit with less intensity, according to the following chemical reactions:
To illustrate both mechanisms, that is, the intrinsic mineral leaching kinetics and the rate of diffusion of lixiviant through the host rock, copper extraction and ferric ion concentration profiles for fragments of monzonite and granitic ores are depicted graphically in figures 13 and 14, respectively.

"Other technologies have relied on fine grinding to increase the surface area of the particles. While fine grinding is effective, it also requires a lot of energy. We needed to come up
Anax Metals (ASX: ANX) has reported "excellent" results from heap leach test work undertaken on Mons Cupri low-grade middlings concentrates from bulk ore sorting at the Whim Creek copper project in Western Australia. Middlings are the rejects from primary high-grade ore sorting that are sorted through a secondary process and directed to the heap for …
Mechanical activation (MA) of malachite was carried out by dry planetary grinding (DPG) and wet Isa grinding (WIG) methods. When the rotational speed was increased to 400 r/min in DPG, the specific surface area of malachite reached the maximum and the particle size reached the minimum of 0.7–100 μm. Agglomeration occurred between mineral particles when the …
The leaching behavior of an Iranian copper oxide ore in sulphuric acid was investigated in detail to evaluate the influence of various factors, to optimize the dissolution conditions and to determine the kinetics of the leaching. The results indicated that the increase in the leaching time and temperature enhanced the leaching rate of copper.

Copper ores. An ore is a rock containing enough valuable mineral to make it worth extracting. In the case of copper, it is worth extracting when there is about 2 kg of copper per 1,000 kg of ore (0.2%). Copper minerals are found in over one hundred varieties, although only a few have been worked for copper on a large scale.

Assuming that the ultra-fine grinding of chalcopyrite in order to obtain the −10 µm fraction might have caused mechano-chemical activation of the mineral specimen that is significant enough to alter the leaching kinetics as shown in Fig. 3, an investigation into the effect of temperature on the −10 µm size fraction is warranted in order ...
A method of leaching copper from copper sulphide-containing concentrates, such as chalcopyrite, includes using pyrite as a catalyst 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 …
If we consider only the top 20 copper mines with the most important reserves of copper (over 1,000 million tonnes of copper reserves) the average copper ore grade of this group is only 0.76% copper, including deposits with a high average copper ore grade, such as Tenke Fungurume with 2.32%Cu, Resolution with 1.5%Cu, Taimyr Peninsula (Nor'ilsk …
In the leaching experiments, 5 g of finely grinded samples were suspended with 1 dm 3 of 0.06 M H 2 SO 4 to be 5 g/dm 3 of ore concentration at room temperature and under magnetic stirring (200 min −1 ). Sampling was performed after 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h from the start of the experiments.
In ores, chalcopyrite is usually associated with other sulfide minerals, such as sphalerite, galena, and pyrite, in a dispersed form, with complex mineralogical structures. Concentrates obtained by flotation of such ores are unsuitable for pyrometallurgical processing owing to their poor quality and low metal recovery. This paper presents the leaching of …
