All cobalt that is associated with copper ore is lost to the tailings during flotation of copper concentrates. Most of the tailings dam from flotation plants in the Democratic Republic of Congo contain more than 0.3 wt% cobalt. According to London Metal Exchange (LME) in August, 2016, the copper and cobalt metals price per ton are …
In some plants, the copper and cobalt are leached sequentially, with copper recovered by SX after an acid leach and the residue is then reductively acid leached to recover the cobalt. ... tailings acid Leach sulphuric acid plant sulphur Cu SX load Fe & Mn ppt Cu EW Cu SX strip cathode SO 2 / air ... small volume of reagent at a high ...
largest volume of tailings, 46 per cent, is produced from copper mining (Figures 4 and 5). The precise number of active tailings storage facilities is currently unknown. Although incomplete, the Global Tailings Portal (see the chapters by Franks et al. and Barrie et al., this volume), which includes information
The results obtained showed recoveries higher than 90 % for both copper and cobalt for the three reagents with precipitate copper grade ranging from 12 - 25 % and cobalt 1 - 2.5 % …

There is a need to define mine tailings in a clear, precise, multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and holistic manner, considering not only geotechnical and hydraulic concepts but also integrating environmental …
One of the most sustainable technologies for copper recovery is leaching, used mainly on ores close to the earth's surface, but inefficient on those that aredeeper, such as chalcopyrite, which is present in 70% of …
Then, according to the development of copper deposits, two plants for copper ores were constructed. One is a small plant which has a capacity of 150 tons per day, and the other is a plant which ...
Our review of relevant literature found that polyaspartic acid (PASP), citric acid (CA) and fulvic acid (FA) are three chelating agents that incur little damage to plants, have strong heavy metal...
The engineering characteristics of tailings are in most instances influenced by the degree of thickening and the method of deposition. It is therefore essential that while investigating the properties of tailings that the physical characteristics and material parameters (e.g. beach slope angles, particle size segregation, water recovery) that can occur as a result …
This study investigated the leaching of heavy metals from the tailings of a small-scale abandoned polymetallic mine in south China by rainwater with batch and …
Tailings Leach Plant: A World First The first large-scale copper SX plant in the world was commissioned at the Nchanga Tailings Leach Plant (TLP) in Zambia in 1974, with a …
The first modern copper heap leach operation may have been the Bluebird copper oxide mine in 1968, followed in the early 1970s by other small operations in the United States. Uranium producers have already utilized the heap leaching of uranium through either acid or alkaline solutions since the late 1950s.

1. Introduction. Worldwide, industrial-scale mining generates a large volume of waste in the form of tailings residues and waste rock. According to the UNEP 2019 report (UNEP, 2019), copper production alone generates around 4 billion tonnes of tailings annually that should be disposed of.This volume is predicted to increase as our metal …
The new "mine-for-leach" process uses bacteria to extract copper from the ore and solvent extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) to recover copper from the resulting leach liquor. Phelps Dodge has ceased all recovery of copper from sulfide mineral concentrates by means of conventional smelting operations at its Morenci, Arizona operations.
Utah Copper purchased four Western air-dump high-side cars specifically for leaching plant service, to handle the 4,000 tons per day of tailings being produced at the plant. The dump cars were 26 feet long and held 30 cubic yards (48 tons).
In 2019, Pazhoohan [39] conducted leaching experiments on tailings from Dehne Siah Zangaloo, Anabad, Iran, revealing a mineral composition of 3.44% iron and …
Process Development Considering the different gold minerals present alone or combined with the host rock, it will be necessary to discharge the unwanted material in order to increase the concentration of gold in an economically manner. This part treats the strategy of beneficiation as a combination of several processes. Joining together these …
Heap leaching is the most important method of hydrometallurgical copper extraction. Heap leaching is used for treating oxide and lower-grade secondary sulfide ores that contain up to ∼2% Cu. The ore is crushed to a uniform particle size (typically 12–50 mm), often agglomerated, and then stacked on large flat-topped heaps in a controlled manner.. …
The main refinery at Nkana uses electrolysis to process copper anodes to LME A grade copper cathodes. It has been expanded to accommodate the increased anode production from the Nchanga smelter. The Nchanga Tailings Leach Plant (TLP), one of the largest of its kind in the world, processes tailings from the Nchanga concentrators and stockpiled ...
1.1. What Are Mine Tailings? An Initial Scope in an Uncertainty and Complex World. The initial step in mineral processing involves crushing and grinding ore to produce a suitable particle size for further metallurgical processing using physical and chemical separation methods [].Physical separation processes take advantage of the …
The most effective extraction of copper (84 to >90%) was achieved by bioleaching the tailings at 45 °C, using a defined microbial consortium, where elemental …
Heap leaching generates a pregnant leach solution (PLS) containing 1–6 g/L Cu²⁺, which is sent to solvent extraction and electrowinning for copper production.
In this study, a hydrometallurgical method for the recovery of copper, cobalt, and zinc from copper slag flotation tailings (SFT) was investigated. SFT contains large amounts of valuable metallic compounds, such as copper, cobalt, and zinc. A representative SFT sample containing 0.50% Cu, 0.148% Co, 3.93% Zn, and 39.50% Fe was used in …

Despite the high copper flotation recovery, normally more than 90% (Zheng and Manton, 2010), the CIL circuit of copper flotation tailings is not always efficient. It is not clear whether iron sulphide minerals or the small amount of copper minerals remaining in copper flotation tailings affects the leaching process.
