    Abstract: A method for removing sulfate iron-containing compounds from a low- to moderate-temperature metal sulfide leach circuit (1) is disclosed. A reactor (6) within a chloride leach circuit (5) and which is preferably maintained at a temperature between 20 and 150 degrees Celsius may be provided with a catalyst (4) comprising a material selected from the group consisting of: colloidal hematite, colloidal goethite, particulate containing FeOOH, particulate containing α-FeOOH, particulate containing γ-FeOOH, particulate containing Fe2O3, particulate containing α-Fe2O3, particulate containing γ-Fe2O3, particulate containing Fe3O4, particulate containing Fe(OH)SO4, and a combination thereof. The catalyst (4) may also be used with heap leach and/or dump leach circuits (22), without limitation. Methods for using and generating the catalyst (4) are also disclosed. In some embodiments, the catalyst (4) may be used as an anti-frothing agent (e.g., for zinc leaching, without limitation).

    Abstract: A method of improving metal leach kinetics and recovery during atmospheric or substantially atmospheric leaching of a metal sulfide is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method may comprise the step of processing a metal sulfide concentrate in a reductive activation circuit 220 that operates at a first redox potential, to produce a reductively-activated metal sulfide concentrate. The method may further comprise the step of subsequently processing the activated metal sulfide concentrate in an oxidative leach circuit 240 to extract metal values. In some disclosed embodiments, reductive activation steps and/or oxidative dissolution steps may employ mechano-chemical and/or physico-chemical processing of particles or agglomerates thereof. Reductive activation may be made prior to heap leaching or bio-leaching operations to improve metal extraction. Systems for practicing the aforementioned methods are also disclosed.
