Copper Heap Leaching & SX-EW Slideshow - MineralsEd
Heap leaching & SX-EW is a method of extracting pure copper from oxide ore by placing the crushed ore on a pad in a heap and spraying the leaching solution, sulphuric acid, over the heap. The acid trickles through the heap and dissolves the copper mineral into solution. The leach solution collects at the bottom of the pad in a collection pond.
Copper Ore Leaching Sx - mariniers-qpo
Copper Ore Leaching Sx. Leach copper from a sulphide ore.The plant flowsheet has been complicated by various phases of expansion, but essentially involves oxygen pressure leaching of the ore in sx raffinate.Pressure leaching is followed by a train of atmospheric leach tanks where ferric ion is consumed and leaches a few additional percent of copper.

SX-EW technology involves leaching (the process of dissolving useful ingredients with a solution) in atmospheric conditions of copper ore heaps by means of diluted sulphuric acid. Folowing leaching, the pregnant leaching solution is transported via a drainage system to the next stage. In an SX-EW reactor, the first process to take place is solvent extraction, which involves

The problems related to the separation of undesirable and toxic metals are also discussed. keywords: copper sulphides, copper ores, leaching, solvent,
Improvements in Copper heap leaching by use of wetting agents
leaching of oxide copper ores with sulphuric acid and subsequent SX/EW-treatment. Several trials on the use of wetting agents in heap leaching of Chilean oxide copper ores have been successfully conducted at IME, Institute of Process Metallurgy & Metal Recycling at the RWTH Aachen University in cooperation with BASF SE, Ludwigshafen.

Leaching Practices at Mantos Blancos
Sulphide ore is processed by milling and flotation to produce copper concen- trate as a final product. Oxide ore is acid leached to produce copper cathodes in a solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) plant. Mantoverde mine has only oxide ore which is processed by acid leaching, also to produce copper cathodes through an SX-EW plant.

Copper Solvent Extraction - BASF
Leaching copper from oxide ores, low grade secondary sulfide ores, and primary sulfide concentrates with aqueous acid or ammonia solutions, followed by solvent extraction (SX) has been practiced commercially since the late 1960’s.

influence of leaching solution pH values and iron (III) concentration on copper recovery. It was established that for 120 hours of leaching on pH=1.5 without oxidant agents, copper concentration in pregnant leach solutions enriched up to 1.08g/dm3 which was enough for copper extraction from solution with SX-EW treatment.
