Oxide ores are leached and further processed via hydrometallurgical processes. Strictly speaking the leaching process is part of the hydrometallurgy, but is considered separately here. Today, heap leaching is the most important leaching method, although in the past, vat leaching also played an important role [45,46]. Regardless of …

Leaching takes place in a series of agitated leach reactors or pachucas. Before leaching the pH of the pulp is normally adjusted to a value of around 9.5–11 to ensure minimum loss of cyanide as hydrogen cyanide. The leaching of gold can be conveniently represented by the Elsener equation: [1] Although air agitated leach tanks were commonly ...

These leaching processes involve the application of an acid and an oxidant to dissolve copper into solution. Copper is subsequently recovered from the acidic solution by a range of recovery options including solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW), cementation onto more active metals such as iron, hydrogen reduction, and direct electrowinning.
