Any tank that has had copper in it has a risk to leach from the silicone. Unfortunately a vinegar wash can't get all of it out. If the rock and sand that were in the tank while the copper safe was being dosed is still being used, that will also leach copper. - kali

"At Nuton's core is a biological leach process that transforms copper-bearing rock or mine waste into 99% pure copper cathode. "Our leaching process starts by creating a heap – a very large pile of crushed rock. Depending on the site, that could be newly mined ore or previously mined rock that has been discarded as waste.

According to Toro et al. [], copper mining is an industry that is in constant growth, and approximately 25 million tons are produced annually worldwide [].Among the copper minerals on the planet, the vast majority correspond to sulfide ores [].Within these copper minerals, chalcopyrite stands out as the most abundant, representing 70% of all minerals that contain …

The problem is, I desperately need a CUC. I am very aware that mixing copper and inverts are a big no no. The tank has plenty of rock and sand. I did see on a BRS video that even after copper tests at 0, to continue to run CupriSorb for another 2 weeks to remove any copper that would leach out of the rock/sand.

Sorry man. Yes, cuprisorb will help to pull copper out but you need to check for copper levels before adding in inverts. Perhaps you overlooked my comment. I believe in testing because copper can slowly leach out of rock and sand. It will get stuck in places and eventually leach out. I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

Even after removing the screw, it took a while to get the copper out of the system, as I'm assuming some got into the rocks or something because there still seemed to be copper leaching in the water. Using the Cuprisorb was a continuous guard against the leaching copper until it was all gone.

If copper recovery depends on (1/d p) and the copper leaching rate depends on (1/d p) 2, leaching of ROM ore in dumps should be impossible, or at least so slow and marginal as to not be profitable.And yet dump leaching of copper secondary sulphides is practiced widely, with good recoveries and at rates rapid enough to be measurable (Yáñez et al., 2007, Bustos et al., …

In situ recovery (ISR) has for several decades been considered an alternative mining method. It can substantially reduce the scarring of landscapes and eliminate tailings, dams, and waste rock while potentially minimizing energy consumption and carbon emissions. However, ISR applications beyond those for uranium have been limited. One key factor that limits the …

The flowchart above shows how the smelting process of sulfide ores produces sulphur dioxide, which is converted to sulfuric acid. The chart below shows how acid is used to leach out copper ions creating lakes of blue copper sulfate solution from which copper is recovered in a solvent and then electrolytically refined in a process called solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW).

Copper doesn't evaporate. It is a metal. It has to be washed out; chelated; ionically changed, for it to come out of the rock. Letting rock sit for a long period of time that has been treated with copper is called rock containing copper. No change will occur over time in regard to copper content.

Upon saturating the macrofractures, these act as a network of distributed sources and sinks for flow of solution into and out of the rock matrix. Since copper is disseminated throughout the rock matrix, understanding and exploiting permeability conditions are essential for successful leaching operations in both the matrix and fracture system.

A leaching solution of weak sulphuric acid is sprayed over the rock on the pad and allowed to percolate through to the base. As the solution passes through the heap, the copper-bearing mineral dissolves into solution. The copper-bearing solution accumulates in the collection pond and is piped to a nearby SX-EW plant for metal recovery. Leaching
