Leaching of Copper and Zinc from Copper-Zinc Sulfide Ore
To extract metals from copper-zinc mixed sulfide concentrates at low cost under atmospheric pressure, the sulfuric acid activation-water leaching method was used to leach metals in the copper-zinc mixed sulfide concentrate. The study mainly investigated the effects of activation temperature, activation time, sulfuric acid-to-ore ratio (K), leaching time, liquid-to …

The Extraction of Copper
The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite ((CuFeS_2)) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper. ...
