What will I learn?
Gain essential skills in hydrometallurgy for copper oxide heap leaching. Master leach chemistry, impurity control, redox processes, kinetics, and heap hydrodynamics. Conduct diagnostic tests, sampling, and mass balances to pinpoint issues, optimise acid usage, and deliver data-driven recommendations to management.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper heap leach chemistry: forecast copper dissolution, speciation, and impurities.
- Heap hydrodynamics management: adjust irrigation, aeration, and acid for rapid recovery gains.
- Diagnostic heap testing: plan sampling, ANC, and column tests to inform solutions.
- Operational optimisation: harmonise acid consumption, copper recovery, costs, and SX feed quality.
- Quantitative reporting: construct copper and acid mass balances plus management reports.
