What will I learn?
This Hydrometallurgy Course equips you with practical tools to enhance copper oxide heap leaching efficiency. Explore core leach chemistry, impurity dynamics, redox management, kinetics, and heap hydrodynamics, then utilise diagnostic testing, sampling techniques, and mass balance computations to pinpoint losses, devise remedies, optimise acid application, and furnish management with robust, evidence-based recommendations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper heap leach chemistry: predict copper dissolution, speciation, and impurity behaviour.
- Heap hydrodynamics control: adjust irrigation, aeration, and acid to boost recovery swiftly.
- Diagnostic testing in heaps: design sampling, ANC, and column tests to inform solutions.
- Operational optimisation: balance acid consumption, copper recovery, costs, and SX feed quality.
- Quantitative reporting: construct copper and acid mass balances and concise management reports.
