    摘要: The invention provides processes that significantly reduce acid consumption while maintaining efficient leach recovery of copper from oxide and acid consuming ores. The invention provides a hydrometallurgical process that reduces acid required for leaching in the presence of a solid ion exchange media. The presence of the ion exchanger leads to copper extraction from solution into the ion exchange phase, the removal of the copper from solution shifts the dissolved copper equilibrium, enabling additional copper dissolution at weak acidities where normally the leaching equilibrium would be hindered. In select embodiments, the process is not reliant on an external neutralising agent to control pH but rather on the acid consuming characteristic of the ore being processed and a limit to the amount of acid added. At the pH at which the leach is controlled, iron (if present) is predominantly present as the ferrous ion, which has a lower affinity for the resin than copper.

    摘要: A method of selectively leaching a metal such as nickel from an ore or ore processing intermediate comprising the metal and cobalt. The ore or ore processing intermediate is contacted with an acidic leach solution comprising an amount of an oxidising agent sufficient to oxidise a major portion of the cobalt to thereby cause it to be stabilised in the solid phase while a major portion of the metal is dissolved for subsequent recovery.

    摘要: Disclosed are novel compounds which display enhanced reactive properties due, in part, to induced lattice strain. The new compounds demonstrate accelerated leaching of copper under oxidizing conditions. The activated compounds are produced under conditions of time, temperature, Eh, and pH which retard the rate of lattice strain relaxation. Further disclosed are methods of making and using the novel compounds.
