Globally, copper, silver, and gold orebody grades have been dropping, and the mineralogy surrounding them has become more diversified and complex. The cyanidation process for gold production has remained dominant for over 130 years because of its selectivity and feasibility in the mining industry. For this reason, the industry has been adjusting its methods …
A specific cobalt flotation circuit is run at KCM's Nchanga concentrator. The ore from the Nchanga open pit contains pockets of ore with higher grades of cobalt, typically about 0.3% cobalt and 1.3% copper. This ore is processed in campaigns through the cobalt flotation circuit, which is illustrated schematically in Fig. 11. The concentrate ...
In this work, oxidizing roasting was combined with leaching to separate copper, lead, and zinc from a concentrate obtained by bulk flotation of a low-grade ore sourced from the Jiama mining area of Tibet.

An improved method and apparatus is provided for the production of copper using a solvent extraction electrowinning process. Process streams formed during the process containing entrained liquids are fed to a cyclone to remove either organic extractant or water (aqueous solutions) from the stream. A raffinate stream fed to a cyclone removes entrained organic …
For oxide ores, methods like heap leaching, solvent extraction, and electrowinning are used to refine copper. Crushed oxide ore is treated with sulfuric acid, dissolving the copper. The copper-laden solution is then purified using organic solvents, and pure copper is deposited …
Vainoris et al. utilized copper s as cathodes for copper EW recovery. Their research revealed that copper deposition rates on copper s were three times faster than those on copper plates, and the charge transfer resistance (R ct) was 1.5 to 1.7 times lower (Vainoris et al., 2020). Liu et al. employed copper cathodes for gallium EW ...

It was observed that Pingel-Bauchi malachite ore contain 19.8wt% Cu which is above 0 – 2.9wt% Cu which is adjudged to be the minimum copper content for economic extraction of copper ores.
Cathode quality is more difficult to control in zinc electrowinning than it is in copper electrowinning. The standard zinc potential (−0.763 V) is lower than many of the impurity metals that can be found in zinc electrolyte solutions. Despite the difficulty, 80% of the primary zinc production is derived by electrowinning .
The leachate of copper and cadmium residues is treated by cyclone electrowinning technology. The resulting copper cathodes are prone to the formation of nodules and dendritic copper particles during the recovery process. The addition of a suitable dose of thiourea (TU) can alter the preferential orientation of the crystals to refine the copper particles. …

The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite ((CuFeS_2)) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper.
