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

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to boost copper oxide heap leaching efficiency. Explore leach chemistry, impurities, redox, kinetics, and heap dynamics, then use diagnostic tests, sampling, and mass balances to pinpoint issues, implement fixes, optimise acid usage, and deliver data-driven reports to management.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper heap leach chemistry: forecast Cu dissolution, speciation, and impurity effects.
- Heap hydrodynamics management: adjust irrigation, aeration, and acid for rapid recovery gains.
- Diagnostic heap testing: plan sampling, ANC, and column tests to direct improvements.
- Operational optimisation: harmonise acid consumption, Cu recovery, costs, and SX feed standards.
- Quantitative reporting: construct Cu and acid mass balances plus straightforward management reports.
