1. Introduction. In acid heap leaching of low-grade ores (such as copper, nickel, and uranium) containing a large number of fines and clays, the agglomeration process has been widely used to prevent fine particle migration and improve the heap permeability (Dhawan et al. 2013; Hoummady et al. 2018; Kodali et al. 2011; Xu et al., …

The chemical binder is one of the critical factors affecting ore agglomeration behavior and leaching efficiency.

Fig. 1 shows the relationship between ore particle size and copper grain exposure. The results showed that the copper grain exposure increased with a decrease in particle size. It was worth noting that more than 90% of the copper grain was exposed in the 4–1.6 mm particle size, while the copper grain exposure was only 58.72% in the …

The ore sample used in this investigation was a porphyry copper ore from Chile. The ore was supplied as SAG mill feed and subsequently screened into a −53.0+9.5 mm size class. Two representative samples of approximately 30 kg were then split by rotary sample divider to provide the test samples for untreated and microwave-treated material.

The bioleaching of copper ore by the defined moderately thermophilic consortium containing Leptospirillum ferriphilum and Acidithiobacillus caldus was carried out in the bench-scale column. Bioleaching experiments showed that the leaching rate was 25% higher than that of a conventional leaching and the acid consumption was reduced by …

The optimum reactivity of Cu C-20 can be explained in two aspects: on the one hand, cement can inhibit the sintering problem of copper ore, thus help to maintain its stable and high reactivity at elevated temperatures; on the other hand, too much cement (with much smaller particle size of 0.01–0.04 mm compared with copper ore particles) …

A porphyry copper ore was selected for this study as chalcopyrite is the main copper-bearing mineral and flotation tests could be performed. The feed size to the SELFRAG and mechanical jaw crushers was −53 + 9.50 mm for all the test work.The modal mineralogy of the ore can be seen in Table 1.The chalcopyrite average grain size was …

Particle size distribution for crushed oxide copper ore composites. In addition to the PSD determinations, the specific gravity of each of these composites was measured by the pycnometer method.

Our proven solutions for copper ore processing include high availability sampling, elemental analysis, and particle size distribution data, providing accurate data in the …

It was found that the particles of smallest size contained 50-60% weak acid leachable copper, whereas only 32% of the copper found in largest particles could be leached in weak acid.

The tested granular material is copper ore of particle size 0–1.25 mm and relative moisture content 0.5–5%, fed to the installation at various rates. Higher moisture of input material is found to change the operation of the classifier. Computed correlation coefficients show increased content of fine particles in lower product of classification.

Applied across the industry, improved coarse particle flotation can result in an additional 0.5 million to 1.5 million metric tons of annual copper production by 2032. If applied across all metals found in sulfide deposits, the technology represents potential value creation of $9 billion to $26 billion per year.

Chemical-looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) has been considered as a revolutionary technology for low-energy consumption CO2 capture. In this work, the performance of copper ore in the CLOU processes for diverse ranks of coal was examined in a batch-scale fluidized-bed at various temperatures. Typical Chinese coals (GaoPing …

Hence, the ultimate copper recovery from an ore particle will be determined from that particle's surface area to volume ratio. For any particle, regardless of shape, the surface area to volume ratio will decrease with increasing particle size: surfacearea volume = f d p 2 f d p 3 = f 1 d p where d p is the particle size. In theory, ultimate ...

In addition, Eric et al. [23] investigated the flotation performance of gold in porphyry copper-gold ore by first-order flotation kinetics, which indicated that an increase in flotation time of copper rougher stage cannot result in the increase in gold recovery and some gold particles can only be recovered by pyrite flotation. However, none of ...

The more power applied, the larger the particles, and the stronger the arcing. Compared with the type and morphology of ore, particle size has little effect on dielectric properties. The microwave action mechanism of bulk copper ore (smooth surface) is a reflection effect and that of bulk copper ore (rough surface) is a discharge effect.
