Copper Leaching Practices
The development of contact sulfuric acid plants coupled with a constant supply of high-grade sulfur has simplified the manufacture of sulfuric acid. A typical example of a contact sulfuric acid plant is the Bagdad Copper Corp. facility, Bagdad, Ariz. (fig. 9), located adjacent to the company's precipitation plant.

Selective Copper Recovery by Acid Leaching from Printed Circuit …
The most challenging issue associated with recycling the sludge generated from printed circuit boards (PCBs) is the separation of copper (Cu) from iron (Fe), using multi-stage leaching, or adding oxidizing and precipitating agents. Herein we investigated simple acid leaching to effectively extract copper and limit iron dissolution. Selective copper leaching was …

Recovery of copper from acid mine drainage using advanced recovery
Pyrite first converts to ferrous sulfur and sulfuric acid, then it converts to ferric hydroxide by a two-stage oxidation approach. Ferric hydroxide is reddish-orange and the effluent contains more sulfuric acid (Chen et al., 2021). A lot of earlier research has provided detailed descriptions of the molecular interaction that causes AMD formation.

The sulfuric acid recovery as a result of waste treatment using hybrid membrane technology is 78%. During the recovery of sulfuric acid from the waste copper plating solution, regenerated acid is obtained with a concentration of 1.1 mol/L and a residual metal content of less than 0.1 mol/L, which allows it to be reused in the technological process.
