Hydrometallurgy Course
This course equips you to master copper oxide heap leaching, covering chemistry through to hydrodynamics. Diagnose recovery shortfalls, conduct vital lab tests, fine-tune acid and irrigation rates, manage mass balances and reagents, and produce precise technical reports that inform superior metallurgical choices.

What will I learn?
Gain essential tools to enhance copper oxide heap leaching efficiency. Explore leach chemistry, impurities, redox processes, kinetics, and heap dynamics, then use diagnostic tests, sampling, and mass balances to pinpoint issues, implement fixes, optimise acid application, and deliver data-driven reports to leaders.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper heap leach chemistry: forecast copper dissolution, species forms, and impurity effects.
- Heap hydrodynamics management: adjust irrigation, aeration, and acid for rapid recovery gains.
- Heap diagnostic testing: plan sampling, ANC, and column tests to direct solutions.
- Operational optimisation: harmonise acid consumption, copper yield, expenses, and SX feed standards.
- Quantitative reporting: construct copper and acid mass balances plus concise management summaries.
