· Tailings (flotation waste) that is formed during copper production may be considered in the class of valuable wastes due to the amount of copper it contains. Owing to the decreasing grade values in copper ores utilization of wastes such as tailings that carry certain amounts of copper as secondary sources has become a necessity in both the economic and environmental sense.

· Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine. The aim of this work was to evaluate the parameters affecting the recovery of copper from low-grade sulfide ores such as temperature pH and bacterial population during bioleaching. The copper content of the sample was 0.25 and about 65 of the copper minerals was sulfide minerals. Gangue minerals in

The major steps in the extraction of copper are Copper in Chalcopyrite is reduced to copper sulphide. Just like in Blast Furnaces calcium carbonate is added as a flux to create the slag. Iron in Chalcopyrite is removed as iron silicate slag.
Chat OnlineAn Investigation into the Ferric Leaching of Chalcopyrite
· The amount of copper extracted was monitored throughout the duration of the experiments. Figure 3 shows a comparison of the copper extraction at 35°C and 70°C. Above 780 mV there is a decrease in the rate of copper extraction at 70°C and 35°C. Higher rates of copper extraction were observed at the higher temperature. 0.90 0.80 0
Chat OnlineProcess for the recovery of copper from its oresKRUESI
A process for the recovery of copper from its ores by conventional procedures requiring heat in which the source of heat is microwave energy. The microwave energy is used to selectively heat the copper compounds such as sulfidic and oxidic compounds in the ore as respects the gangue to convert the compounds into other compounds such as oxides and chlorides from which copper is more

· The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulphide ores such as chalcopyrite are converted to copper by a different method from silicate carbonate or sulphate ores. Getting copper from chalcopyrite CuFeS 2. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulphide ores are the commonest ores of
Chat OnlineCopper extraction from chalcopyrite Comparison of three
· The most commonly employed hydrometallurgical process for the oxidation of chalcopyrite and extraction of copper is the sulfuric acid–ferric sulfate system. Reactions are the generally accepted reactions for the extraction of copper from chalcopyrite via
