What will I learn?
Gain essential skills in hydrometallurgy to boost copper oxide heap leaching efficiency. Explore leach chemistry, impurities, redox processes, kinetics, and heap dynamics, then master diagnostic sampling, mass balances, and optimisation strategies for acid use and recovery improvements, enabling data-driven reports for management.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper heap leach chemistry: forecast copper dissolution, species distribution, and impurity effects.
- Heap hydrodynamics management: adjust irrigation, aeration, and acid application to rapidly increase recovery.
- Diagnostic heap testing: plan sampling, ANC, and column tests to direct operational improvements.
- Process optimisation: harmonise acid consumption, copper recovery, expenses, and SX feed specifications.
- Data-driven reporting: construct copper and acid mass balances alongside concise management summaries.
