Chalcopyrite is the main mineral source of copper ore for extracting and producing copper.
However, with the continuous mining of copper ore, the grade of chalcopyrite decreases …

Heap leaching is a firm extractive metallurgical technology facilitating the economical
processing of different kinds of low-grade ores that are otherwise not exploited …

Hydrometallurgy is the main method to regenerate valuable metals from electroplating
sludge and reduce its environmental hazards. As a key step to efficiently recover metals, it is …

In this paper, a novel process leaching complex chalcopyrite without acid under oxygen
pressure is proposed, and the leaching behavior and kinetic characteristics of copper in the …

The pressure leaching mechanism of chalcopyrite was studied by both leaching tests and in-
situ electrochemical measurements. The effects of leaching temperature, oxygen partial …

The realization of efficient leaching of metal elements in chalcopyrite is of great significance
to global industrial development. In this work, an eco-friendly and efficient leaching process …

Recent investigations have shown that the addition of short-chain organic additives
(methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, acetone, isopropanol, formic and acetic acids) …

Abstract Currently, about 10%− 20% of the world's copper production comes from
bioleaching processes. On the one hand, the bioleaching residues accumulated over the …

Developing new and sustainable leaching system with limited release of pollutant and low
acid and energy consumption is a challenge for copper extraction from chalcopyrite. In this …

Copper, an essential metal for the energy transition, is primarily obtained from chalcopyrite
through hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods. The risks and harmful impacts of …
