The effect of agitation speed on the copper leaching was carried out in the range from 100 to 500 r/min. An adequate suspension of the solid was observed at 300 r/min and the copper dissolution was independent of the agitation over this speed. As a result, agitation speed was maintained at 500 r/min in the subsequent experiments to
Jun 07, 2021· There are two main leaching methods: heap leaching and in-situ leaching. Heap leaching is the most common method used in the U.S. When processing copper through heap leaching, vast quantities of ore and overburden overburdenSoil and rocks that have been moved out of the way to get to ore are called "overburden." In areas where there are high ...
presence of copper silicate species characterized by a lower leaching kinetic, increasing its leaching time. The influence of copper mineralogy is important in a short duration test by agitation but disappears in percolation tests requiring longer leaching cycle of severa! days. For both samples, the cobalt leaching is rather low.
The 3D response surface graphs confirmed the interactive effects of sulphuric acid concentration, agitation speed, and liquid/solid ratio with temperature. About 91% copper content was leached at~13% sulphuric acid concentration, stirring rate of 600 rpm, liquid/solid ratio of 10 mL/g and 50 °C after 80 min leaching.
Effective volume per leach reactor 3 Agitation power (with oxygen) 165 t/h 8 h 8 350 m 1.4 kW/m3 Installed motor size Solids concentration Copper leach extraction Leach temperature ... required for the copper leaching process (Dreisinger, 2006). Leach reactors are operated at atmospheric pressure near the boiling point of the slurry. The leach
Agitated leaching is the preferred choice for processing ores from the Central African Copperbelt in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia. Hydrometallurgical extraction of copper consists of three main unit operations: leaching, solution purification, and metal recovery. During leaching, the valuable components of the ore are ...
Recycling activity for waste electrical and electronic equipment is always accompanied with leaching solution containing copper. Its selective extraction is of environmental and economic significance, and is beneficial for subsequent resource purification procedure. Compared with techniques such as …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of agitation speed on the leaching of waste copper from the smelter dust by an organic reagent citric acid as a new approach to the hydrometallurgical process of leaching. Sulphuric acid is the most
2, the copper leaching efficiency increased when agitation rate increasing up to 400 rpm, after which further increasing the agitation rate had little effect on the leaching efficiency. The copper leaching efficiency increases by no more than 15% when the agitation rates increased from 0 to 600 rpm after 180 min leaching.
The effects of other parameters, including agitation speed, particle size and reaction temperature, on the copper leaching from malachite ore were investigated by using these optimal values of ammonium sulfate concentration and solid to liquid ratio.
A copper product containing more than 99.9% copper was obtained by using the process: flotation-agitation leaching-solvent extraction-electro-winning. View Show abstract
Following the introduction of the agitation leach plant, soluble copper became a much more important issue at Gedabek. Grinding the ore to minus 75 µm for agitation leaching, instead of crushing it to minus 25 mm for heap leaching, exposed much more of the copper minerals to direct contact with the cyanide leach ...
Copper minerals and ores are found in both igneous and sedimentary rocks. ... Flotation by the injection of air and violent agitation is carried out with the pulverized ore held in suspension in water, to which surface-active agents have been added. ... Modern methods of extraction allow economic leaching and electro-winning of copper from low ...
Jun 30, 2021· Solution pH also affected slag leaching. Agitation of the solution positively affected the rate of copper extraction. Leaching kinetics of the leaching solution through the porosity formed in the slag was analyzed under the intraparticle diffusion model. The reaction order was 1.2 with respect to the concentration of ammonium hydroxide and the ...
Vat leaching is used to extract copper from crushed, nonporous, oxide ore in large tanks or vats. Agitation leaching involves the rapid leaching of ore concentrate or roaster calcine in agitated tanks. Vat and agitation leaching are generally more rapid, more efficient, and much more costly than dump leaching.
In order to determine the optimal process parameters of agitation leaching and provide industrial process design parameters, experiments were carried out on leaching behaviors of copper oxide ore ...
