Leaching Copper Ore

Automating and Optimizing Copper Heap Leaching Processes

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. The acid leaches out the copper, along with other minerals, which can be ...
