Heap Leaching
· Heap leaching of gold and silver ores is conducted at approximately 120 mines worldwide. Heap leaching is one of several alternative process methods for treating precious metal ores, and is selected primarily to take advantage of its low capital cost relative to other methods. Thirtyseven different heap leach operations with a total production of 198 tonnes of .

Sulfuric acid injection in copper heap leaching | LEWA
The leaching reagent (dilute sulfuric acid) is sprayed through sprinklers on top of the heap pile and allowed to trickle down through the heap, where it dissolves the copper from the ore. The resulting solution of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate is collected in a small pool. Copper concentration is around 65%. Next step is solvent extraction.

Tailings and Heap Leach Management in Practice
Heap leach management and tailings dam standards mainly emanate from a standard known as civil society sector standards. These reflect a confluence of the growth of higher incomes in major consuming markets and the globalisation of value chains. As prosperous economies grew in wealth, so civil society organisations grew in importance.

Heap leach pads are composed of mined ore, usually crushed, disposed on drainage system to be processed with leach solutions. In the case of dynamic heap leach, after the leaching process, spent ore is transported by conveyor belts to be disposed into dumps. It is common to observe physical stability problems in these dumps, that could ...

Sustainable issues related to heap leaching operations
Heap leaching operations have evolved significantly over the centuries, ever since natural leaching was observed by Agricola and others in the 1550s. Modern heap leach facilities have become quite sophistied and complex, and have to to deal with numerous metallurgical, geotechnical, and environmental challenges facing mines today.
