may contain 0.5-0.7% copper and is frequently used as construction material or for sandblasting. Leaching processes produce residues while effluent treatment results in sludges which can be sent for metals recovery. The smelting process typically produces less than three tons of solid waste per ton of copper produced. Pollution Prevention and ...

Ammonia leaching of sulfide copper concentrates generate buffer type liquors (pH ranges from 9 to 10), because of the excess of ammonia and significant amount of ammonia sulfate as a leaching agent. Metals such as Cu, Ni, Co and Zn occur in ammonia systems as a cationic amminacomplexes. Alkalinity of the solution and free

NICKEL ELECTROLYSIS The nickel leach, filter, and electrolysis circuits were considered to be the same as for the copper circuit. AMMONIA STRIPPER Because of the introduction of 80 tons of water per day into the leach circuit with the raw sludge, it was assumed that a leach liquor bleed stream would be steam-stripped to produce an NH3-C02 ...

ammonia leaching without oxidants. Therefore, it makes a focus that how to extract bornite in ammoniacal solution. Persulfate is known to be a strong oxidant in the basic solutions and has been used as a leaching agent for the recovery of metal in alkaline solutions [20,21]. The dissolution of low-grade copper ore in ammonia-

Leaching of copper can be accomplished with ammonia solution in which metal such as copper is selectively extracted while restricting the dissolution of iron or manganese. Both metals can pose a real problem in the subsequent stages of hydrometallurgical processing - …

On a commercial scale the leaching of native copper ores by a solution of ammonia and ammonium carbonate is possible as in the case of Calumet and Hecla Mining Co. (3). Universal Mineral and Metals, Inc. leaches scrap copper by a solution of ammonia, ammonium carbonate, and copper …

major advantage of ammonia leaching process lies in its selectivity towards copper since ammonia forms soluble ammine complex with Cu ions and iron is completely rejected as iron oxides. Aqueous ammonia as a leaching agent is fairly non-corrosive and leaching reactions occur in relatively mild conditions [9]. The best known

The application of ammonium thiosulfate for the treatment of copper-gold ores has been investigated. Leaching studies were conducted with copper minerals, copper minerals with gold addition to solution and copper-gold samples of different copper and gold grades. The behaviour of thiosulfate, tetrathionate and sulfate in solution was studied using ion chromatography. The copper sulfide minerals ...

Jul 01, 2020· Compared with traditional mineral processing technology, biological leaching technology has the characteristics of low cost, easy operation and low pollution. Leaching bacteria of copper beneficiation Mesophilic Bacteria It can effectively leach chalcocite, covellite and other secondary sulfide ores with optimal growth temperature of 20 ~ 35 ℃.

Ammonia leaching can be used in non-oxidative, oxidative and reductive leaching [16]. The ammonia leaching process is more environment friendly than conventional acid heap leaching, which uses sulphuric acid to dissolve copper and cobalt [11]. The reported difficulty encountered with the ammonia leaching approach, however,

The leaching of sulfide minerals distinguishes bioleaching from conventional acid leaching. Bioleaching involves the use of microorganisms to catalyze the oxidation of iron sulfides to create ferric sulfate and sulfuric acid. Bioleaching is used today in commercial operations to process ores of copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc and uranium.
