THE HEAP LEACH PROBLEM . Heap leaching is a conceptually simple process but has several characteristics that make modelling the flowsheet quite complicated. Fundamentally, it is a slow process. There is a substantial time lag between stacking ore and producing the final product. During this time the soluble inventory builds

In selected cases, copper heap leach-SX/EW process plants are running out of ore feed. These plants have fully functional SX/EW plants available for further copper recovery as electrowon cathode. In this case, it may make sense to adopt a copper concentrate hydrometallurgy process as the "front end" of the process plant and further utilize ...

The bio heap leaching duration was 326 days. The bio heap temperature varied between 5 °C to 30 °C for the first 160 days whereas it elevated to minimum 35 °C and maximum 70 °C in the second half of the leaching period. The heap temperature was measured using sensors located at 1.5 m, 2.5 m and 3.5 m depth from the top layer.

Heap Leach. A leach pad is defined as a continuously lined area which may contain one or more 'heaps'. Heaps are stacked on prepared pads to a height from 4 to 8 metres. The nominal heap height for Lady Annie Operations is 6 metres. Each heap is approximately 60 to 70 metres wide and may contain between 200,000 and 300,000 tonnes of ore.
