Heap Leaching: Modelling and Forecasting Using CFD Technology
Heap leach operations typically employ some form of modelling and forecasting tools to predict cash flow margins and project viability. However, these vary from simple spreadsheets to phenomenological models, with more complex models not commonly employed as they require the greatest amount of time and effort. Yet, accurate production modelling and forecasting are essential for managing product...
متن کاملStability Analysis and Stabilization of Miduk Heap Leaching Structure, Iran
To construct copper heap leaching structures, a stepped heap of ore is placed over an isolated sloping surface and then washed with sulphuric acid. The isolated bed of such a heap consists of some natural and geosynthetic layers. Shear strength parameters between these layers are low, so they form the possible sliding surfaces of the heaps. Economic and environmental considerations call for stu...
متن کاملLeaching and Kinetic Modelling of Molybdenite Concentrate Using Hydrogen Peroxide in Sulfuric Acid Solution
Leaching of molybdenite concentrate with hydrogen peroxide in sulfuric acid solution was investigated to determine the effects of reaction time, reaction temperature, H2O2 concentration, H2SO4 concentration, pulp density and rotation speed on molybdenum extraction and molybdenite dissolution kinetics, using the Taguchi method. From analysis of var...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Isothermal Heap and Column Leaching
Leaching occurs in metals recovery, in contaminated soil washing, and in many natural processes, such as fertilizer dissolution and rock weathering. This paper presents a model developed to simulate the transient evolution of the dissolved chemical species in the heap and column isothermal leaching processes. In this model, the solid bed is numerically divided into plane layers; the recovery of...
متن کاملInvestigative study into the hydrodynamics of heap leaching processes
Three mathematical models (mixed side-pore and profile side-pore diffusion with uniform or distributed pore length) are derived in dimensionless form to simulate the transport of solutes through the flowing channels and the stagnant pores of an unsaturated heap. Model parameters are determined from experimental tracer residence time distributions using the least square minimization approach. It...
