Reactions 5,6,7 and 8 detail the leaching behaviour of gold in a thiosulfate system.
DetailsHowever, the average grade of copper minerals gradually decreased after long, excessive mining period. For instance, the data from Intelligence Mine showed that the average grade of copper minerals become obviously lower and lower in Bingham Canyon Mine of the United States (Fig. 1).Moreover, unlike energy minerals (e.g. coal, oil), the …
DetailsCovellite: Covellite (CuS) is a copper sulfide mineral that is usually found in the oxidized zones of copper deposits.It has a characteristic indigo-blue color and is often associated with other secondary copper minerals. Tetrahedrite: Tetrahedrite ((Cu,Fe)12Sb4S13) is a complex copper ore mineral that contains antimony as well. It …
DetailsThe ongoing depletion of gold and silver-containing ore deposits demands a shift towards the processing of more complex sources. Leaching of gold or silver from these sources, which are named refractory and are typically low-grade, can be complicated due to one or more of the following effects: (1) kinetic or thermodynamic impediments on …
DetailsCapital costs at this level of operation were to be US$0.08/lb of copper and operating costs, as shown in Table 2, were estimated at US$0.34/lb of copper. 28 The average ore grade is 0.59% copper and the estimated recovery is 78.2%. The operation was upgraded to 180,000 tons per year before it was completed and to 250,000 tons per year in 2001.
