In this study the dissolution of CuO in HCl H 2 SO 4 HNO 3 and citric acid solutions was investigated in a batch reactor employing parameters expected to affect the dissolution rate of copper such as stirring speed temperature and acid concentration It was found that 9995 of copper was dissolved after 14 min with inorganic acids at 05 M 25 176 C and l/s = 10 ml/g while more drastic...

Copper is produced in the U S primarily by pyrometallurgical smelting methods Pyrometallurgical techniques use heat to separate copper from copper sulfide ore concentrat Process steps include mining concentration roasting smelting converting and finally fire and electrolytic refining 1232 Process Description2-4...

Brought on stream in 1975 the 10 000-tpd copper oxide processing plant of Anamax Mining Co at Twin Buttes Ariz is now at design capacity Based on acid agitation leaching solvent ion exchange and electrowinning the Anamax plant bridges an ore to metal gap by producing mine site copper cathodes from lime-bearing oxidized feed...

The electrolytic refining of lead anodes was carried out in a methane sulphonic acid MSA electrolyte a solution of lead carbonate in methane sulfonic acid 7 8 2 - Thiosulphate leaching of gold and silver from solid residue The solid residue obtained after chloride leaching of lead sulphate was leached in thiosulphate solution...

extraction process employs a strong acid to strip the copper from Crushed ore in the leach pad The pregnant leach pond is in the distance The crushed ore rests on a leak-proof membrane to protect the underlying ground and prevent the acid and copper ions polluting the local water table The pregnant leach pond contains copper...

cycled anolyte ii the leaching section where sulfuric acid H 2SO 4 is added to the slurry in order to leach the solid copper oxide into copper sulfate CuSO 4 copper sulfate is a salt of the sulfuric acid iii the purication section where various components are removed from the slurry remaining copper oxide in the rst lter...

processes using dilute sulphuric ac The first process vat leaching of high-grade copper oxide ore followed by EW of copper from the leach solution produced low quality copper cathode at relatively high cost In 1968 the tonnage of high-grade oxide ores was decreasing and vat leaching was on the decline...

Copper hydrometallurgy is a branch of metallurgy method to extract copper directly from those difficult-to-concentrate copper oxide ore Traditional copper hydrometallurgy process typically consists of atmospheric leaching solvent extraction SX and electro-winning EW It can produce either copper cathode or copper sulphate crystal...

Sep 26 2019 0183 32 After crushing oxide-type copper ores such as azurite 2CuCO 3 Cu OH 3 brochantite CuSO 4 chrysocolla CuSiO 3 2H 2 O and cuprite Cu2O dilute sulfuric acid is applied to the surface of the material on leaching pads or in leaching tanks As the acid trickles through the ore it combines with the copper producing a weak copper...

Copper processing - Copper processing - Roasting smelting and converting Once a concentrate has been produced containing copper and other metals of value such as gold and silver the next step is to remove impurity elements In older processes the concentrate containing between 5 and 10 percent water is first roasted in a cylindrical refractory-lined furnace of either the hearth or...

The smelter for sulfide ores produces sulfur dioxide gas This is scrubbed from the flue gases to make sulfuric acid for leaching copper from oxide or Scrubbing sulfur dioxide also protects the environment A by-product of the smelting and converting furnaces is sulfuric ac...

ing process of copper oxidized ores sulfuric acid leach-ing is viewed as the most viable and versatile process The most common copper oxide minerals such as azu-rite Cu3 OH 2 CO3 2 malachite Cu2 OH 2CO3 and copper oxide CuO can be dissolved by sulphuric acid according to the reactions given below 7 Cu3 OH 2 CO3 2 3H2SO4 3CuSO4 2CO2...

A third product of the smelting process is sulphur dioxide a gas which is collected purified and made into sulphuric acid for sale or for use in hydrometallurgical leaching operations Following smelting the copper matte is fed into a converter...

The impure copper is then purified by electrolytic purification to 9999 pure copper while the iron oxide is disposed of as slag Because of its dependence on sulfuric acid the SX/EW Process is at present not a substitute for but rather an adjunct to conventional smelting Most commercial operations leaching copper from ore dumps are...

Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore less than 1 copper and ends with sheets of 9999 pure copper called cathodes which will ultimately be made into products for everyday useThe most common types of ore copper oxide and copper sulfide undergo two different processes hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy respectively due to the different...

In an integrated process copper-bearing materials are leached with dilute sulfuric acid and the dilute pregnant leach solution is reacted with ferrous scrap to produce cement copper precipitate containing copper metal ferrous impurities and normally refractory metal impuriti The raw cement copper is preliminarily treated to separate portions of the ferrous impurities and is then melted...
