By absorbing the exhaust gas, the …
Leaching without pre-treatment gave poor recoveries (< 45%) for copper and cobalt. Roasting of the feed material in air alone had no and little effect on improving leach efficiencies of copper and cobalt, respectively. On the other hand, copper and cobalt recoveries of 70 and 80% were obtained after roasting the feed material with elemental ...

Copper and cobalt can be found on nickel laterite ores, and cobalt can be found also on copper ores, and many contaminants such as iron, aluminum, and magnesium are associated with these ores. In hydrometallurgical process, a purification step is necessary after leaching due to the presence of these impurities. Chelating …
In the leaching experiments, the effects of roasting time, acid/slag ratio, roasting temperature, and application of thermal decomposition prior to leaching on the metals dissolution extents were investigated. A total of 88% of copper, 87% of cobalt, 93% of zinc, and 83% of iron were extracted in 2 h of roasting at 150 °C and 3:1 acid/slag ratio.
In hydrometallurgical processing of oxidized gold-bearing ores, copper, cobalt, zinc, and other metals, along with gold, dissolve in sodium cyanide alkaline solutions forming metal cyanide complexes, which have a negative impact on the gold leaching process. One method for removing copper from cyanide solutions is sorption …
The leaching rates of cobalt and copper were approximately 51 and 48 pct, respectively. Yang et al. and Liu et al. utilized activated carbon and surfactants to optimize the leaching process of ZY101 bacterial strain. Under optimal conditions, the leaching effect of cobalt improved markedly from 71.3 to 93.4 pct. Copper leaching also …
The chemical analysis results of the acidic pressure leaching solutions after the pH adjustment are as shown in Table 2.Here it should be indicated that before the acidity adjustment of the acidic pressure leaching solutions, the original solutions were firstly pre-treated by activated copper powder cementation to recover some dissolved …

In this process, ammonia leaching of sulfide minerals of copper, nickel, cobalt and iron was conducted at a temperature of about 105 °C and air pressure of 8 ATM. Under these c onditions, copper ...
Abstract The paper focuses on leaching of complex copper–cobalt–nickel ore from Mwinilunga district in Zambia, containing 0.6% Cu, 0.21% Co, 2.6% Fe, and 0.13% Ni.
