150 200 250 300 Leach Days GRAPH 8: 1) The document describes tests performed to optimize forced aeration in copper extraction from sulphide ore at the Cerro Verde mine in Peru. Tests were conducted using aeration pipes with different hole diameters to determine the optimal size. 2) Results showed that pipes with 2 mm holes maintained adequate airflow for longer before plugging occurred, and these sections achieved higher copper extraction levels and ferric ion production than sections with 1.59 mm
