Utilizing Pakistan chromite as raw material, the rapid leaching of chromium and iron could be realized by the sulfuric acid leaching process on the condition of atmospheric pressure and the addition of oxidant A. And the leaching rate of chromium and iron would be 98.5% and 71.9%, respectively. The sulfuric acid leaching processes with different temperature were systematically studied by chemical analysis and phase analysis. The results showed that, with the increase of reaction temperature, the leaching rate of chromium would increase gradually, but the leaching rate of iron increased at first and then decreases and reached its maximum at 140°C. When the temperature > 160°C, the phases of the leaching residue were magnesium iron silicate and a few of silica, no chromohercynite, chrompicotite and magnesioferrite existed in the chromite. The leaching solution of sulfuric acid leaching process could be used for preparing the basic chrome sulfate, and there is no Cr6+ in the leaching residue and solution. The results would provide theoretical guidance for solving environmental pollution problem of Cr6+ in traditional chromate production process.

Leaching rate is one of the key parameters in the nickel stir leaching process of sulfuric acid and it is hard to online measure directly due to a lot of uncertain facts. In this paper, the prediction model of nickel leaching rate is established by least squares identification method. A controller combining predictive control(PFC) and PID control is designed to control nickel leaching rate in stir leaching process of sulfuric acid and better results of leaching rate control is proved by computer simulation.

Blast furnace gas ash is one of the main solid wastes in iron and steel enterprise. The recovery of zinc from gas ash can result in considerable economic and environmental benefits. The effect of NH3/NH4+, L/S, [NH3]T and leaching time on the zinc leaching rate of blast furnace gas ash by using ammonia leaching process had been investigated in this paper. The results show that L/S and NH3/NH4+ are the main influence factors under the experimental condition. The optimal conditions for leaching process are: NH3/NH4+=2:1, L/S=4:1, [NH3]T =5mol/L, and the leaching time is 3 hours. The zinc leaching rate is 82.84% under the optimized conditions. The lead content in leaching solution is high, so the main task is to improve the removal rate of lead in the purification process.

Oxygen pressure acid leaching process was used to extract vanadium from vanadium slag (Panzhihua steelmaking plant of China). The single factor experiment was finished and the effects of temperature, leaching time, liquid to solid ratio, stirring speed, initial concentration of sulfuric acid, and were investigated on the leaching rate of vanadium, titanium and iron. The leachate and residue were characterized by ICP, XRF, XRD, SEM and EDX.

The traditional gold leaching method is cyanidation, which carries serious security and environmental problems. More and more attention is paid to the research on non-cyanide process. A high-arsenic-and-sulphur refractory gold concentrate in Sichuan was taken as the object of study. After the roasting-oxidation pretreatment of the sample, potassium ferricyanide was adopted to carry on the process experiment on gold-leaching. The leaching results as well as correlative process conditions were both investigated. The results showed that good leaching effects could be achieved by potassium ferricyanide. When the amount of potassium ferricyanide was 60g/L, the concentration of NaOH 0.2mol/L, the liquid-solid ratio 6:1 and the leaching process at room temperature lasted for 20h, the gold leaching rate reached 88.1%. If the leaching aid CaO2 is added simultaneously, it can contribute to the gold leaching. When the amount of CaO2 was 3g/L, the gold leaching rate increased to more than 94%, the amount of potassium ferricyanide decreased to 50g/L and the leaching time reduced to 14h.

This study is prompted by the high leaching efficiency of Zijinshan copper bio-heap leaching industrial plant. Bioleaching columns with 100 mm diameter and 1 m height were used to investigate copper bioleaching at different operating conditions. Elevated temperature, high total iron concentration and high acidity significantly increased copper leaching rate as determined by solution and residue assays. At 60 °C with 50 g/L iron (initial Fe3+/Fe2+ gram ratio 2.5), pH 1.0 and no aeration, copper extraction was achieved 90% after 60 days. However, at 30°C, 5 g/L total Fe, pH 1.5 and no aeration, copper extraction reached 80% and 85% after 90 and 200 days, respectively. Real-time PCR assay showed that only 105 cells/ml and 2×105 cells/g are in solution and on the ore surface at the condition of 60 °C 50 g/L iron and pH 1.0, respectively. In addition, a similar leaching rate was observed in the tests with and without inoculation. The column without inoculation was directly irrigated with acid mine drainage (AMD). Our results indicate high copper leaching efficiency at extreme conditions for mineral oxidizing bacteria. Inoculation and aeration are not necessary in Zijinshan copper mine bio-heap leaching process.

The issue of poor aeration efficiency and low oxygen transfer in the heap leaching of gold has gained considerable attention. In this study, ozone ice was studied as an oxygen release reagent in the cyanide heap leaching of gold at a low temperature of approximately 5 °C, owing to its effective oxidation and clean and green properties. Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D) was used to monitor the effect of different ratios of cyanide and oxygen concentrations on the gold leaching rate. The results showed that the leaching rate doubled when the dissolved oxygen (DO) was increased from 8.2 mg/L to 12 mg/L at a relatively high cyanide concentration of 60 mg/L. The release of oxygen during the process of ozone ice melting was analyzed by simulating the oxygen-deficient condition of the ore heap in column leaching. In the first stage of ice melting, the DO in the solution increased dramatically, and the rate of increase improved with increased initial ozone concentration in the ice. In the second stage of ice melting, the rate of increase in the DO of the solution was not significantly affected by the initial ozone concentration in the ice; this was consistent with the decomposition rate of ozone. The addition of ozone ice containing 300 mg/L ozone increased the gold extraction by 4.1% in the ore column leaching experiment, compared to a column with no ozone ice. However, continuously increasing the ozone concentration up to 600 mg/L had no further significant effect, because the dissolved oxygen in the leaching solution reached saturation. The results facilitate a better understanding of the decomposition law of ozone in the melting process of ozone ice and help to improve the oxygen deficit state in gold leaching heaps.

Chilean mining is one of the main productive industries in the country. It plays a critical role in the development of Chile, so process planning is an essential task in achieving high performance. This task involves considering mineral resources and operating conditions to provide an optimal and realistic copper extraction and processing strategy. Performing planning modes of operation requires a significant effort in information generation, analysis, and design. Once the operating mode plans have been made, it is essential to select the most appropriate one. In this context, an intelligent system that supports the planning and decision-making of the operating mode has the potential to improve the copper industry’s performance. In this work, a knowledge-based decision support system for managing the operating mode of the copper heap leaching process is presented. The domain was modeled using an ontology. The interdependence between the variables was encapsulated using a set of operation rules defined by experts in the domain and the process dynamics was modeled utilizing an inference engine (adjusted with data of the mineral feeding and operation rules coded) used to predict (through phenomenological models) the possible consequences of variations in mineral feeding. The work shows an intelligent approach to integrate and process operational data in mining sites, being a novel way to contribute to the decision-making process in complex environments.
