Nickel sulfide ores are processed by heap leaching in Sotkama, eastern Finland (Talvivaara, 2011 ). The process entails the following: (a) open-pit mining of 0.2% Ni, 0.5% Zn, 0.1% Cu, and 0.02% Co sulfide ore; (b) four-stage crushing; (c) rotary kiln …

Calcium and sulphate ions are two very common components in the process water from flotation of sulphide minerals. The origins of calcium and sulphate species in process water are the ore and flotation reagents such as lime for maintaining pH and NaHSO 3 for controlling the surface properties (Broman, 1980).

LEACHING OF A ROASTED COPPER SULFIDE ORE. Sulphide ores of copper are insoluble in dilute sulphuric acid leaching solutions, but a very high extraction can be obtained if the copper ore is in the oxidized condition.

The ore which was supplied in lumpy form was subjected to crushing and grinding.

Nowadays, due to fast global industrial progress and near diminution of high-grade ore reserves, there has been massive call to cost-effectively process the resources of low-grade ores and industrial effluents for metal extraction. However, conventional approaches cannot be used to process such resources due to high capital cost and …

For this process, the term bio-oxidation is used because the solubilized metals such as iron and arsenic are not of economic value. ... Bioprospecting has led to the discovery of halotolerant Acidihalobacter spp., capable of sulfide ore leaching at high chloride concentrations (Khaleque et al. 2019).

Sequential flotation is employed to process massive sulfide ore from the Noril'sk-Talnakh deposit in Russia and produce separate copper, nickel and pyrrhotite concentrates (Bulatovic Citation 2007; Kozyrev et al. Citation 2002); the pyrrhotite concentrate has a high concentration of Ni, Cu and PGMs and is processed further in a …

Metal recovery from metal sulfide ore is carried out by chemolithotrophic bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans. The same is …

What are copper sulfide ores? Different methods are used to process copper sulfide ores depending on the concentration of copper within the ore — higher-concentrated ores can be separated via ...

Nickel, which is commonly hosted in sulfide ores and laterite, is widely used in both civil and military endeavors [].Sulfide ore serves as a major source of native nickel due to the low extraction cost and facile metallurgical process [].Ni-rich sulfide ore has been exhausted by endless mining resulting from the substantial demand for and …

The authors describe the opportunities of low-grade sulfide ores and mine waste processing with heap and bacterial leaching methods. By the example of gold and silver ores, we analyzed specific issues and processing technologies for heap leaching intensification in severe climatic conditions. The paper presents perspectives for heap …

(a)-SEM-EDS of sulfide gold ore pyrolysis volatiles; (b)-The XRD patterns of sulfide gold ore pyrolysis volatiles; (c)∼(d)-Thermodynamic analysis (pyrolysis process) of major components (FeS 2 and FeAsS) in sulfide gold ore. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of ...

Treatment of nickel sulfide concentrate by Ausmelt TSL process is carried out in two steps [23, 46]. The first step produces a low-grade matte and a discardable slag whereas the second step treats the matte to either a high-grade matte (>70% Cu/Ni) with low iron and high sulfur or a high-grade matte with low iron and sulfur. ... A copper ore ...

Another challenge with Ni-Cu sulphide ores is related to the process behaviour of non-sulphide minerals present in the host rock. These are Mg-bearing complex silicates with a very low background concentration of nickel or copper. ... On a Ni-Cu sulphide ore in the Sudbury Basin with 42% hexagonal pyrrhotite and 58% …
