Summary of the copper sulphide ore recovery process. It is essential to have flexibility in any mill circuit, but particularly in largetonnage operations such as this. Changing ore, changing market conditions and many other factors make this flexibility absolutely necessary. A slight change, easily made, in a flexible flowsheet may increase ...
Although the main cause of hydrometallurgical plant closures is the depletion of oxidized copper minerals reserves, the lack of new hydrometallurgy projects also contributes to these closures. One solution is to be able to process copper sulphide ores hydrometallurgically. However, it is widely known that sulphide copper ores—and chalcopyrite in particular—have very slow dissolution ...

Grindingflotation process: This process is suitable for processing copper minerals with coarse and uniform particle size, loose combination of copper minerals and gangue, and smooth and flat contact, the raw ore is ground to 200 mesh, accounting for 5060%, and the copper minerals can be dissociated as monomers. This flotation process is simple and the cost of beneficiation ...
In the 197090s, it was suggested that different additives be used to intensify the sulfide copper ore leaching process with acid solutions, such as sulfuric and nitric iron (III) and ammonium salts, fluoride ions, surfaceactive substances, oxygen, ozone, sodium chloride, nitrates and chlorides of alkaline, and alkaline earth metals [1,2,3,4 ...
Flotation is a common mineral processing method used to upgrade copper sulfide ores; in this method, copper sulfide mineral particles are concentrated in froth, and associated gangue minerals are separated as tailings. However, a significant amount of copper is lost into tailings during the processing; therefore, tailings can be considered secondary resources or future deposits of copper.
The project's proposed openpit mine near Babbitt and processing plant near Hoyt Lakes is a a 5050 joint venture between PolyMet Mining and Canadabased Teck Resources.
The acquisition of O'Okiep Copper Company was also completed following the listing of Copper 360. Since listing, construction of the modular flotation plant ("MFP 1") to process sulphide ore has started and remains on track to be completed within budget.

Metallic sulfide mining — also known as hard rock mining — involves extracting valuable metals, like copper or zinc, from sulfide ores, which are rocks and sediments that contain minerals bonded with sulfur ions. To reach these ores, miners deplete the area's groundwater by pumping it out and then excavate the site using drilling and ...
Nickel sulfide ores are processed by heap leaching in Sotkama, eastern Finland (Talvivaara, 2011 ). The process entails the following: openpit mining of % Ni, % Zn, % Cu, and % Co sulfide ore; leaching nickel and other metals from the agglomerate by sprinkling metaldepleted, purified, recycle solution on the heaps; and ...

The Process. The concentrated ore is heated strongly with silicon dioxide (silica) and air or oxygen in a furnace or series of furnaces. The copper(II) ions in the chalcopyrite are reduced to copper(I) sulfide (which is reduced further to copper metal in the final stage).
Nickel processing Extraction, Refining, Alloying: The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major differences in equipment are the use of highertemperature refractories and the increased cooling required to accommodate the higher operating temperatures in nickel production.
