The recovery of copper by leaching from relatively low grade ores containing both oxidized, and sulphide minerals is rapidly gaining in commercial importance. There is an economic limit, below which certain ores can not be treated by concentration methods, and material with values below this limit must be discarded, possibly to be treated later, or the copper must be extracted by wet processes.
Chemical beneficiation of copper oxide ore Acid leaching—precipitation—flotation. Scope of application: malachite, cuprite, tenorite, copper mine tailings, etc., except copper ore containing calcium magnesium carbonate gangue. The ore is first leached with a 0.5% to 3% sulfuric acid dilute solution after being ground. (For some ore that is difficult to be leached, it needs to be heated to
Agitated Leaching. Copper Agitated Leaching and cementation process of copper problem: The treatment of copper ores, both oxides and sulfides by means of flotation, hydrometallurgy or other processes has been well established for many years. Flotation has been applied generally to the treatment of sulfide ores, both in small and large scale
Before the beneficiation of copper ores, crushing and grinding are required. The bulk ores are crushed to about 12cm by a jaw crusher or a cone crusher. Then the crushed materials are sent to the grinding equipment, and the final particle size of the copper ore is reduced to 0.15-0.2mm. Copper ore crushing process. 1.
The leaching of a mixed oxide/sulfide copper ore can be described by the addition of an oxide copper recovery curve and a sulfide copper recovery curve if certain conditions are met. These conditions include that the concentration of acid and ferric iron in the leach solution be such that the percentage recovery of copper from the oxide copper minerals in the ore must at all times greater than

A process for the extraction of copper from a copper ore or concentrate comprises first subjecting the ore or concentrate to agitation leaching at an elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of oxygen and water to obtain a resulting acidic leach liquor which contains dissolved copper. The acidity of the resulting acidic leach liquor is
Michael L. Free, Michael Moats, in Treatise on Process Metallurgy: Industrial Processes, 2014. 2.7.4.1.1 Copper Ore Heap leaching. The extraction of copper from ores by hydrometallurgical methods involves leaching. Almost exclusively, leaching is performed on heaps of materials.
Heap leaching accounts for around 20% of the global production of copper. In heap leaching coarsely crushed ore particles are contacted with an aqueous lixiviant percolating through large packed beds (heaps) of the ore particles, with the loaded solution collected at the foot of the heap for metal recovery, solution make-up and recycle.

Many oxidized copper ore bodies occur in what are known as contact-metamorphic deposits, the gangue of which is largely composed of garnet and associated minerals, wollastonite, vesuvianite, epidote, etc. Analyses of such ore disclose large amounts of calcium oxide, which may lead to erroneous assumptions and possible rejection of leaching processes as unsuitable in such cases. The facts are

There is an economic limit, below which certain ores can not be treated by concentration methods, and material with values below this limit must be discarded, possibly to be treated later, or the copper must be extracted by wet processes.
Before leaching, raw low-grade copper ores are typically crushed using high-pressure grinding rolls to induce the formation of numerous microcracks and fine mineral particles (Yin et al., 2017); this step can accelerate the leaching process and increase the leaching recovery, but it reduces the penetration of the leachate into the ore. The objective of the present study was to examine the
