The acid leaching of copper oxide ores generates a vertical acid concentration gradient in the ore heap which is not generally observed in sulfide deposits. Shafer et al have verified Roman s model and were able to predict the leaching behavior for a relatively large scale column test on coarse ore.
Chat OnlineModelling copper heap leaching Leaching implies a reaction between solid particles and a liquid phase. The "shrinking core" model describes the leaching process of an idealized oxide copper ore particle 1 . This particle reacts from the surface inwards. During the continuous reaction a leached rim is formed composed mainly of gangue.

Chat Onlineleaching fruits. In the study of bacterial leaching of copper oxide ores the effects of leaching time and ore size on copper leaching can be investigated by shaking flask test small-scale leaching column leaching test and enlarged column leaching test. The most common type of copper ore is tetragonal variant with medium temperature.
Chat Onlinecopper are often not adequate when applied alone to the mixed oxide sulfide mineralogic type. The standard commercial oxide copper analysis may be misleading as an indicator of ore grade for sulfuric acid leaching if the mineralogic composition of the sample is not considered. Oxide copper
Chat OnlineSulphide ores of copper are insoluble in dilute sulphuric acid leaching solutions but a very high extraction can be obtained if the copper ore is in the oxidized condition. The problem is to convert the sulphide into the oxide form. This can be done by giving the sulphide ore an oxidizing-sulphatizing roast. Copper sulphate is soluble in water so acid will be saved in the leaching process if
Chat OnlineConventionally copper oxide ores have been leached in a heap using sulphuric acid solution and leachate being further sent through downstream processes for getting pure metallic copper BioMineWiki G.A. Kordosky (2002) . The Figure 1 as follows shows the
Chat OnlineThe smelter for sulfide ores produces sulfur dioxide gas. This is scrubbed from the flue gases to make sulfuric acid for leaching copper from oxide ores. Scrubbing sulfur dioxide also protects the environment. A by-product of the smelting and converting furnaces is sulfuric acid.
