Copper Smelting Chemistry Tutorial

Copper can be extracted from sulfide ores (usually higher grade ores) by direct smelting. The earliest evidence of copper smelting occurs in Serbian artefacts dating from around 5000 BC. Copper can be extracted from oxide ores using electrolysis (electrowinning) for low grade ores, or by the carbon reduction method of smelting for higher grade ...

(PDF) Optimizing Copper Leaching through HPGR …

Based on these tests (and earlier test work), it is concluded that the use of HPGR in a tertiary crushing application as projected by the authors may increase copper extractions in oxide copper ores from 2-6%, in secondary sulfide ores from 3-10% and may increase the copper extraction in bornite-chalcopyrite ores by 2-3%.

Chalcopyrite (Cu) Sphalerite (Zn) Separation by Flotation

Even at this grind microscopic examination shows inclusions of chalcopyrite in sphalerite grains. Zinc sulphate and cyanide are added to the regrind mill to effectively depress the sphalerite. Xanthate Z-11 or reagent Z-200 is added to the conditioner to promote the chalcopyrite and float it in the "Sub-A" circuit as shown.

Insights into heap bioleaching of low grade chalcopyrite ores …

1. Introduction. Bioleaching in heaps is favored by most of the industries today for the extraction of metals such as copper, gold, nickel, uranium from low grade ores (Bartlett, 1998, Padilla et al., 2008, Panda et al., 2012, Qin et al., 2009).The process is an alternative to the conventional processing with unit operations such as floatation, reactor and vat leaching (Van …

Leaching of chalcopyrite ore agglomerated with high …

One of the most important unresolved problems in the development of a heap leach process for copper sulfide ores is the inhibited leaching of chalcopyrite at ambient temperature. Numerous studies have reported the formation of a layer on the surface of chalcopyrite during the dissolution process; however, the nature of this "passivating layer ...

A Review on the Research of Hydrometallurgical Leaching of …

Chalcopyrite is the main mineral source of copper ore for extracting and producing copper. However, with the continuous mining of copper ore, the grade of chalcopyrite decreases year by year and its composition becomes more and more complex. The traditional pyrometallurgical extraction process has been unable to make efficient use of such resources, and it is extremely …
