Leaching Copper Pilot Plant

Simulation of a SX–EW pilot plant

From 1996 to 1997, Mines Gaspé operated a pilot plant to test the economic feasibility of leaching an oxidized copper ore, followed by SX and EW of copper. Despite the fact that copper SX–EW processes have the reputation of being low-cost operations, plant engineers should always look at ways to make the plant more efficient.
