Sulphide copper ores are normally concentrated by flotation while the oxide ores undergo hydrometallurgical treatments. The mixed sulphideoxide copper ores may be processed by combined methods such as flotation followed by leaching and precipitation of the oxidized portion, or viceversa. Also a LeachPrecipitationFloat Process (LPF Process) has been successfully applied. However, when oxide ...

This process uses aqueous (waterbased) solutions to extract and purify copper from copper oxide ores at ordinary temperatures, usually in three steps: heap leaching, solvent extraction, and electrowinning. Heap Leaching and Solvent Extraction of Oxide Ore. Heap Leaching is the process of using percolating chemical solutions to leach out metals.

Flotation is a common mineral processing method used to upgrade copper sulfide ores; in this method, copper sulfide mineral particles are concentrated in froth, and associated gangue minerals are separated as tailings. However, a significant amount of copper is lost into tailings during the processing; therefore, tailings can be considered secondary resources or future deposits of copper.

Due to the ongoing scarcity of copper resources globally, the extraction of copper from waste rocks has become an unavoidable necessity. This study investigated the phytoextraction of copper from lowgrade chalcocite (LGC) ore using Tagetes sp. Therefore, the LGC and the garden soil mixtures, with different percentages, were utilized to achieve the optimum condition in 4 weeks. Mixing 50% LGC ...

This work investigates the effect of an agglomeration and curing pretreatment on leaching of a copper sulfide ore, mainly chalcopyrite, using minicolumns in acidnitratechloride media. Ten pretreatment tests were conducted to evaluate different variables, namely the addition of nitrate as NaNO3 ( and kg/ton), chloride as NaCl ( and kg/ton), curing time (20 and 30 days) and ...

In some NiCu sulphide ores with low sulphide mineral content, but rich in precious metal levels, processing requires activation rather than depression. Recent work suggests that the ammoniacal solution of copper sulphate is more effective on pentlandite than the copper sulphate itself in the alkaline range [ 54 ].

One solution is to be able to process copper sulphide ores hydrometallurgically. However, it is widely known that sulphide copper ores—and chalcopyrite in particular—have very slow dissolution kinetics in traditional leaching systems. An alternative to improve the extraction of copper from sulphide ores is the use of a pretreatment process.
