What is Heap Leaching. Heap leaching is a process through which metals are extracted from the ore in which they are found. Heap leaching is often chosen for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. As the need for resources increase, the heap leaching industry has risen to the occasion with advancements creating an even more efficient leach.

The CIL gold plant is complex as it involves the leaching and adsorption of competing species, the influence of cyanides, oxidizing agents and passivating agents and carbon attrition. However, we (JXSC) have over 38 years of experience in designing, controlling, and optimizing gold processing solutions for such a complex process.

Abstract. In copper dump leaching, run-of-mine ore is irrigated with acidic leaching solution to generate aqueous cupric ions for further processing. The very large size of the ore particles being leached, as much as two meters in diameter, should preclude any significant metal recovery. Dump leaching should not work; and yet it does.

The rate of addition of matte to the leaching tanks is controlled to match the amount of Cl 2 that is produced by electrolysis in the electrowinning cells. Sufficient Cu + remains in solution at the redox potential. This exothermic process is carried out at 110°C. The leach liquor is treated to remove its copper content by cementation.
