Due to the lack of complete insulation of the 2-meter leaching column, a large amount of this heat was wasted during the 120 days of the ...
Particle damage and exposure analysis in HPGR crushing of …
Column leaching results also show that about 80–90% of the copper was recovered from the copper sulfide ore in a relatively short leaching time irrespective of crushing technique. As expected, copper recoveries improved with a decrease in the particle size of the copper sulfide ore as exposure of copper mineral grains increased.
Agitation and column leaching studies of oxidised copper …
Sulphuric acid agitation and column leaching tests of an oxidised copper-cobalt-bearing ore (1.44% Cu and 1.04% Co) were performed to investigate its amenability to copper and cobalt metals extraction under reducing conditions.
