This paper designs a square column leaching experiment to probe the coupling flow-reaction-transmission. 2.372 kg of Yanglas copper ore with a grade of 1.25% was loaded in a 6×6 cm2 column whose height is 60 cm. A 28-day leaching gave an approximate copper yield of 14.5 gram, which is an equivalence of copper leaching rate being 50%. Hydraulic conductivity was measured. The changing trends are analyzed by mathematical analysis software Eviews and Matlab, and the numerical simulation was conducted.

The effects of several variables on the column bioleaching of copper sulphide ore have been investigated. The copper ore contained chalcopyrite as the main sulfide minerals and bornite and chalcocite as the minor minerals. The experiment was carried out using bench-scale column leach reactors designed in Key Lab of Biometallurgy of Ministry of Education, which were inoculated with the pure mesophile bacteria (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans) and thermophile bacteria (Sulfobacillus), respectively, and the mixed bacteria which contain both iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. The results show that the mixed cultures were more efficient than the pure cultures alone and the maximum copper recovery 53.64% was achieved using the mixed cultures after 85 days. The leaching rate of chalcopyrite tended to increase with the increased dissolved ferric iron concentration. The effect of particle size on the rate of the copper leaching was also investigated, and it was shown that the copper bioleaching rate decreases as the amount of fines increase, which limits the permeability, thus decreases leaching rate. Jarosite and elemental sulphur formed in the column were characterized by the X-ray and EDS.

Leaching Solution

Copper ore is classified into three groups; primary copper sulfide, copper oxide and secondary copper sulfide. Leaching copper from primary copper sulfide, such as chalcopyrite, with sulfuric acid takes longer time than from copper oxide and secondary copper sulfide. As such, an oxidant is required to extract copper from chalcopyrite. In this study, column leaching tests were carried out using primary copper sulfide ores produced in an iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposit and rich in iron in coparison to porphyry copper ores. The columns of 10 cm diameter and 100 cm long had a double tube structure so that the column temperature can be kept at desired temperature by circulating warm water in the outer tube. The oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the leaching solutions were adjustedto 400, 450 and 500 mV vs Ag/AgCl. The column leaching test using just pH 2.0 sulfuric acid without adjustment of ORP at 45 °C got a copper recovery rate of 37 % in 400 days. On the other hand, with ORP adjusted leaching solutions of pH 2.0 sulfuric acid containing 500 mg/L Fe, the copper recovery rate reached up to 87 % in 400 days.In addition, it was necessary to keep the temperature above 45 oC to enhance copper leaching by ORP adjusted leaching solution. The result of the column leaching test at room temperature (around 30 °C) using ORP adjusted leaching solution shows that the recovery rate of copper is lower than the result at 45 °C. The ORP adjustment of leaching solution is effective for leaching copper from primary copper sulfide ore, however, the leaching temperature needs to be kept above 45 °C. As a result, it makes clear that copper leaching is enhanced by utilization of ORP adjusted leaching solutions and suggests that the solution ORP control is important to the application of bioleaching.

In the present study, the synthetic signals from the combo tube are simulated by using commercial electromagnetic numerical analysis software which has been developed based on a volume integral method. A comparison of the simulated signals to the experiments is made for the verification of accuracy, and then evaluation of five deliberated single circumferential indication signals is performed to explore a possibility of using a numerical simulation as a practical calibration tool. The good agreement between the evaluation results for two cases (calibration done by experiments and calibration made by simulation) demonstrates such a high possibility.

Abstract The XRF, XRD, polarizing microscopy and SEM-EDS were used to study the alteration mechanism of copper-bearing biotite and the leachable property of copper-bearing minerals in Mulyashy Copper Mine, Zambia. It was found that biotite can be divided into copper-bearing biotite and copper-free biotite. Some copper-bearing biotite existed in the form of monomer, and others aggregated with copper-bearing chlorite, malachite or copper-bearing limonite. The main reason for the occurrence of biotite aggregations was that copper-bearing biotite underwent two kinds of alteration mechanisms as follows: altering into copper-bearing chlorite and malachite, and altering into copper-bearing chlorite and copper-bearing limonite. The order of factors effecting the copper leaching rate of the ores in acid leaching experiments was temperature > sample size > H2SO4 concentration > leaching time > stirring speed. In addition, the copper leaching rate of copper-bearing minerals at different temperatures was in the following order: malachite, chrysocolla and pseudomalachite > copper-bearing chlorite > copper-bearing muscovite > copper-bearing biotite > copper-bearing limonite. The leachable property of biotite is closely related to its special structure.

The solutions containing ammonia allow for selective leaching of the copper from a copper ore. In this study, the leaching and kinetics of malachite ore were examined using ammonium acetate solutions as an alternative lixiviant. The effects of some experimental parameters on the leaching of malachite ore were investigated. A kinetic model to represent the effects of these parameters on the leaching rate was developed. It was determined that the leaching rate increased with increasing solution concentration, temperature and stirring speed, and decreasing particle size and solid-to-liquid ratio. It was found that the leaching reaction followed the mixed kinetic control model. The activation energy of this leaching process was determined to be 59.6 kJmol-1. Consequently, it was determined that ammonium acetate solutions could be used as an effective leaching agent for the copper extraction form malachite ore.
