Geometallurgical characterization of South Georgian complex copper-gold ores

treatment methods of copper ores

at the present time, flotation is the primary method for copper minerals separation from copper ores. the main copper ores that is extracted in the world is sulphide ore. the sulphide minerals are floated readily by using sulphydryl collectors. in the case of using xanthates , which are among the sulphydryl collectors, used more in the flotation of sulphide minerals of copper, the flotation of ...

Bacterial leaching of discarded copper ores from Yongping, China

The elementary and phase analysis of discarded copper ores from Yongping of China has been performed. The experiments of extracting copper from the discarded copper ores were done with the mixed bacteria obtained through a series of enrichment, separation, domestication and combination tests. The results show that in the process of bioleaching, the pH value rises at first and drops gradually. T...

Development of Geometallurgical Indices for Semi-Autogenous Grinding at Sarcheshmeh Porphyry Copper Mine

Geometallurgy tries to predict the instability the behavior of ores caused by variability in the geological settings, and to optimize the mineral value chain. Understanding the ore variability and subsequently the process response are considered to be the most important functions of an accurate geometallurgical study. In this paper, the geometallurgical index is presented as a new tool to...

Leaching of gold ores with high cyanicides: a physico-chemical modeling approach

Processing of gold ores with high sulfide minerals is problematic as they consume cyanide and reduce gold leaching. Optimization of gold leaching and cyanide consumption requires a methodology to estimate the amount of exposed cyanicides, their leaching kinetics, and speciation of cyanide complexes that consume the free cyanide and compete with gold. In this paper, a physico-chemical approach i...
