The Mineral Processing Flowsheets shown on the following pages are based on actual data obtained from successful operating plants. Metallurgical data are shown in these flowsheets which incorporate Crushers, Grinding Mills, Flotation Machines, Unit Flotation Cells, and Selective Mineral Jigs as well as other standard milling equipment.
The purification uses an electrolyte of copper (II) sulfate solution, impure copper anodes, and strips of high purity copper for the cathodes. The diagram shows a very simplified view of a cell. At the cathode, copper (II) ions are deposited as copper. At the anode, copper goes into solution as copper (II) ions.
In this process, ammonia leaching of sulfide minerals of copper, nickel, cobalt and iron was conducted at a temperature of about 105 °C and air pres- sure of 0.8 MPa. Under these conditions ...
Although ketoximes do not generally allow the extraction of copper at pH values below 1.8, and have slow extraction kinetics, they exhibit copper selectivity over iron of about 300:1.

Comparison of a simplified linear (left) and a circular (right) hydrometallurgical flowsheet for battery-grade cobalt and nickel production. For the circular process, a conceptual flowsheet is shown, with the re-introduction of protons to the system via hydrogen gas or via SX-assisted carbonation with CO 2.The acid is regenerated, and …
In the chemical leaching experiments at 70ºC, only 14% copper was recovered from the original chalcopyrite sample while the maximum copper extraction was 78% from bornite produced at 450ºC (90 ...
Copper Production. W.G. Davenport, in Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, 2001 2.3 Electrowinning. Electrowinning is the plating of metallic copper from the CuSO 4 –H 2 SO 4 –H 2 O electrolyte produced by solvent extraction. It consists of passing direct current between inert but conductive anodes (usually Pb–Sn–Ca alloy) …
The flow sheet diagram for recovering PMs from PCBs proposed by Park and Fray is shown in Figure 2. ... Matte and speiss are treated in copper smelters for the extraction of copper and other associated metals . In the last stage of e-waste processing via the lead smelting route, PMs and other elements are separated from the lead bullion. …
Primary copper production starts with the extraction of copper-bearing ores. There are two basic ways of copper mining: surface and underground mining. Due to copper being spread in relatively low concentrations ... Type Flow Concentrate (28% Cu) Cathode Unit Energy resources Crude oil 4,700 15,000 MJ Hard coal 4,800 17,000 MJ Lignite 580 …

A schematic diagram of the Ruashi process is given in Fig. 8. The primary separation of copper and cobalt is effected by copper solvent extraction. At Ruashi, and many other plants in the DRC, solvent extraction is configured into a high-grade/low-grade circuit, a common SX configuration developed specifically for the Copperbelt.
Phase diagrams for typical copper oxide and sulfide scenarios are presented in Figs. 5.23 and 5.24 as well as Fig. 5.6, shown previously. These diagrams show that an oxidizing, acidic environment is generally needed for metal extraction. ... The second operation is metal extraction by leaching. General flow sheets for typical …

The SX/EW Process. The SX/EW Process is a hydrometallurgical process since it operates at ambient temperatures and the copper is in either an aqueous environment or an organic environment during its processing until it is reduced to the metal. Because of its dependence on sulfuric acid, the SX/EW Process is at present not a substitute for, but ...
