Copper Heap Leaching | Encyclopedia MDPI

Heap leaching from low-grade ores has contributed to the total global production of copper, gold, silver, and uranium [ 25][ 32][ 33]. Heap leaching has also been considered for zinc [ 25][ 34][ 35] and nickel [ 36] and more lately for platinum group metal (PGM)-bearing ores and electronic scrap [ 37][ 38]. In heap leaching, the crushed ore is ...

Heap leaching a stack of gold

Heap leaching can take anything from a couple of months to several years. In the case of gold recovery, heap leaching generally requires 60 to 90 days to leach the ore, compared to the 24 hours required by a conventional agitated leach process. Gold recovery is also usually only 70% compared with 90% recovery in an agitated leach plant.

How copper dump leaching works

The difference between heap and dump leaching is mostly related to scale, and is driven by the copper content of the ore (Petersen, 2016, Marsden, 2008). Ores with relatively high copper grades are leached in heaps: the ore is crushed, agglomerated, stacked in lifts generally less than 10 m high, and irrigated for periods of less than 18 …

Effect of the particle size and microstructure

Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the heap leaching operation to increase the leaching rate and shorten the leaching cycle. The use of HPGR instead of jaw crusher as the crushing method of ore before heap leaching has always been an effective method to improve leaching efficiency (Kodali et al., 2011; Yin et al., 2017).

leaching of copper from run-of-mine or crushed ore placed on dumps, followed by extraction of highly-pure copper from the leach solutions by solution extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW), is increasingly used due to its relatively low costs. Not all ores are amenable to leaching, hence many mines employ both methods. A few mines extract
