The heap leaching process has been widely used for recovering different metals since its first application at the end of the 1960s. In Chile, copper production via heap leaching has accounted for between 30 and 40% of annual copper production over the past 10 years. This level of production has been achieved through and supported by …
Heap Leaching Process & Mining Techniques
Heap leach mining is an industrial hydrometallurgical process, where the metal contained in an ore body is extracted by dissolution. The target mineral is leached with an aqueous solution whereby the mineral is dissolved into what is called a "pregnant" solution which, is then captured and later recovered downstream in the processing line.
The Effect of Hydro-Jex Operation on the Stability of Heap Leach …
Hydro-Jex® is a new enhanced method for heap leach treatment with significantly higher mineral recovery.
