About this document
Optimizing Copper Leaching with Mineralogy by Luis Anza is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the importance of daily mineralogical analysis for optimized copper leaching operations. Future copper ores will be lower grade, harder to process, and more acid consuming. Routine quantitative mineralogical data collected from techniques like XRD Rietveld analysis, near infrared spectroscopy, and automated mineral analyzers can help operations optimize parameters like crushing efficiency, agglomeration, permeability, acid consumption, and copper extraction. Several case studies are
