According to Table 2, copper in the ore primarily exists in the form of copper sulfide, with an oxidation rate of 19.14 %, classifying it as mixed-type copper ore. The content of …
Copper is one of the key metals for the nowadays industries and for the upcoming electrification, being produced by primary materials (mining, ore) and secondary sources (recycling, scrap). The global trend for recycling and lower impacts on environment are pushing for more scrap recovery and lower CO2 emissions by casting houses.
Secondary copper recovery is attracting increasing interest because of the growth of copper containing waste including e-waste. The pyrometallurgical treatment in …
Because the copper resource consists mainly of secondary copper sulfides with high pyrite, and the mine is located in a region of high rainfall, a large volume of acid mine drainage is generated. ... The copper ore with grade of 0.15%–0.25% is sent to heap leaching to produce copper cathode via SX-EW. ... The ore grade fed to the third plant ...
In the ten years from 2003 to 2013 global mine production of copper has increased by over 23% to meet demand while the weighted average head grade has dropped from 0.9 to 0.7% Cu.
To investigate the influence of ore particle size on the secondary copper sulfide ore leaching rate, the acid leaching shake flask experiments under the conditions of different particle sizes were ...
