Heap leaching is one of the most important hydrometallurgical processes in copper extraction. About 20% of the world’s copper production is obtained by leaching . The most common leaching models incorporate mineral leaching kinetics, reagent transport, and solution flow, among others . Heap leaching allows the processing of low-grade The development of TL-SX-EW copper cathode production in Chile since 1990 is shown in Fig. 9.1. Rapid expansion occurred during 1995–2010, and production of 2088 kt of SX-EW copper cathodes was obtained in 2010. During that period, bioleaching also attracted interest and reached a significant level of maturity.Copper Bioleaching Operations in Chile: Towards New

Heap leach operations typically employ some form of modelling and forecasting tools to predict cash flow margins and project viability. However, these vary from simple spreadsheets to phenomenological models, with more complex models not commonly employed as they require the greatest amount of time and effort. Yet, accurate The largest copper heap leaching facility is the Zijinshan copper mine, which is a copper bio-leaching system and it has a daily ore treatment capacity of 20,000 tonnes. 13.9 million tonnes of low grade secondary copper sulphide ores (0.38% Cu) have been treated from 2006 to 2009 and the bio-heap leaching based copper cathode The current state and future directions of percolation leaching

Heap leaching of copper ores is widely practiced, particularly in North and South America, for the leaching of acid-soluble oxide minerals and secondary sulfides, such as chalcocite. The contribution to hydrometallurgical copper production by heap leaching is expected to continue, because this technology is relatively simple, robust, flexibleSulfuric acid solution containing ferric iron is the extractant for industrial heap bioleaching of copper sulfides. To start a heap bioleaching plant, sulfuric acid is usually added to the irrigation solution to maintain adequate acidity (pH 1.0–2.0) for copper dissolution.

Typical flowchart of copper production based on heap leaching Sulphide minerals are usually not leached or are leached very inefficiently in absence of oxygen. Heap leaching of copper oxide ores -Scale Up between Laboratory and Pilot Plant Results, Copper'95 -Cobre'95, Vo1.3, (Chile), pp. 743-756. McCready, R.G.L. (1991). Bacterial During in-situ leaching, rather than removing soil and rock to reach copper deposits, acids are injected into ore bodies via wells. The PLS is captured in production wells and pumped to a leach plant where the copper is later recovered. High levels of TENORM have been found in the PLS of two in-situ leach operations in Arizona.

A challenge faced by hydrometallurgical activity in Chile is the closure of its plants (heap leaching), such as the case of El Salvador (Codelco), announced in 2013. This closure was due to the lack of reserves (oxidized minerals) and high costs. Hydrometallurgy production in Chile will suffer a decrease in its participation in total In a subsequent paper the application of the method on commercial heap leaching production data will be demonstrated. From the optimised parameters in X i (t) For example, for the design of copper heap leach plants the extent of extraction obtained in the laboratory could be multiplied by 0.9, and/or the time required for achieving a givenComparative assessment of heap leach production data

Yangla Copper Mine is copper oxide mine located in the Yunnan Province, and it used to be faced with some challenges during the bioleaching operations and make it nearly closed. Based on the industrial leaching plant’s technological experiments and records, the initial heap leaching was determined to be unsuccessful for The capital cost for heap leaching/SX/EW was reported by Peacey et al. (2004) to be around US$4000 to US$5000 per annual ton of copper cathode for plant capacities between 40,000 to 200,000 mt/y. The capital cost was observed to split about one third for each heap/SX/EW operation.Pre feasibility study in hydrometallurgical treatment of low
