• Copper sulphate crystallisation has been successfully implemented in South America with the establishment of two plants established by Despromin (2016). • The modular approach adopted for the construction of copper sulphate crystallisation plants (Figure 1) allows for retrofitting of the system for phased plant capacity expansion. The system
The most successful copper heap leaching operations have been those processing copper oxides and secondary copper sulphides (Table 1).Chalcocite (Cu 2 S) is the main copper sulphide mineral mined at bioleaching operations. Some of the chalcocite heap operations began as oxide (chemical) leach operations and were …
Prasad and Pandey studied the roasting of the mixture of copper-iron sulfides and copper sulfide formed copper sulfate, whereas iron sulfide converted mostly to hematite at 500˚C. In the present work, a roasting …
Copper occurs both in combined state and free state and also in many ores. The important ores of copper are copper pyrites ((CuFeS_2)), cuprite and copper …
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 …
Activators are usually added to the conditioner ahead of flotation and in general the time of contact should be carefully determined. Amounts required will vary with the condition of the ore treated. In the case of zinc ore previously depressed with zinc sulphate and cyanide, from 0.5 to 2.0 of copper sulphate may be required for complete ...
These factors were found to be directly linked to activation by copper sulphate. The results showed the Merensky ore froth was not destabilised to a large extent with the addition of copper sulphate although chemically reacted copper species were found on the surface of Merensky ore. The base metal sulphides were rendered more. …
The copper sulfate solution (the pregnant leach solution) is then stripped of copper via a solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) plant. ... When rich enough, native copper ore bodies may ...
Bookmark. Use this practical to introduce students to the determination of copper ore by colourimetry using copper (II) sulfate. An ore is any rock from which a metal may be extracted. Ores usually contain a compound …
In the mid 1800s, it was discovered rather by accident that a mixture of copper sulfate with lime was an effective deterrent to downy mildew on grapevines. Copper sulfate easily dissolves in water and when combined with lime, which stabilizes the copper, it is safe to use on plants with little fear of tissue injury.
Sulfide ores are generally processed using pyrometallurgy, the extraction and purification of metals by processes involving the application of heat. This process uses a series of physical steps and high temperatures to extract and purify copper from copper sulfide ores, in four basic steps: …
Blasting sulfide ore in the Codelco Chuquicamata open-cut copper mine, Chile. The first step in recovering metals from their minerals is that of finding ore-bodies in which metal sulfides are present in a sufficient …
Colourimetric determination of copper ore. Use this practical to introduce students to the determination of copper ore by colourimetry using copper (II) sulfate. An ore is any rock from which a metal may be extracted. Ores usually contain a compound of the metal, a mineral, together with waste material. To decide whether an ore is worth mining ...
Copper sulphate can be used to separate Copper from Nickel in a sulphide ore or Copper from Fe in Cu -Fe sulphide ore. CuSO 4 solution can also be used for removing Pb, Zn, and Fe from copper sulphide ores. In presence of oxidizing agents: Ferric ion: Ferric sulphate or chloride react with metal sulphides liberating elemental sulphur, e.g.
All copper sulfides require the presence of Fe 3+ and O 2 as oxidizing agents for leaching to occur. The copper sulfide is oxidized by Fe 3+.The resulting Fe 2+ is reoxidized to Fe 3+ by O 2.The Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox couple acts in a catalytic manner in these reactions (shown for elevated-temperature reaction conditions where the sulfur-containing product …
The recovery of Au and Ag from a roasted copper-rich pyritic refractory gold ore (78 g/t Au, 6.8 g/t Ag, 1.38 % Cu and 3.09 % Fe was investigated. Cyanide leaching and adsorption tests were performed at different concentrations of cyanide (1.5 g/L and 5 g/L NaCN) and the adsorbent dosages ranged from 2 g/L to 10 g/L.

Copper sulfide ore, which accounts for 80% of the copper resource, is the major source for the metallic copper [1]. ... Chimneys can be classified broadly by composition into five groups: sulphate-rich, copper-rich, zinc-rich, silica-rich, and carbonate-rich structures. Copper-rich chimney compositions are indicative of formation at ...
To analyze and compare the environmental impact of different groups for copper concentrate production, the mining and beneficiation of copper sulfide ore …
Copper is commercially produced mainly by smelting or leaching, usually followed by electrodeposition from sulfate solutions. For a detailed treatment of the production of copper, see copper processing.The major portion of copper produced in the world is used by the electrical industries; most of the remainder is combined with other …
Question: Roasted copper ore containing the copper as CuSO4 is to be extracted in a countercurrent stage extractor. Each hour a charge consisting of 10 tons of gangue, 1.2 tons of copper sulfate, and 0.5 ton of water is to be treated. The strong solution produced is to consist of 90 percent H20 and 10 percent CuSO4 by weight.
This, coupled with the activating effect of copper sulphate on both the zinc and pyrite, presents a difficult selective flotation problem. Typical of such an ore is the following analysis: Copper 3.78%; Sulphur …
The proportions. of copper sulfate used are expressed on the face of the diagram in pounds CuS04.5H20/ton of ore. It will be noticed that most of the beneficial effect is obtained by as little as 1 lb. crystalline copper sulfate per ton of ore, although slightly improved results are obtained with up to 2 pounds.
DANGER – solids and solutions (≥ 1.0M sulfate, ≥1.3 M nitrate) –cause serious eye damage; skin irritant; harmful if swallowed (especially saturated solutions for crystal-growing). *Solid only – very toxic to aquatic life.

Calcium and sulfate ions increase the copper recovery and grade of copper and lead in the zinc rougher concentrate. The zinc recovery is negatively affected by high pulp temperature, presumably due to lower mass pull, but the zinc grade increases. Most of the ore sample is pyrite, and it is depressed effectively at high pulp temperatures.
Copper sulfide ores are typically the most profitable copper ore type to mine. That is because they have high copper content, and the copper in them can more easily …
