What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to enhance copper oxide heap leaching efficiency. Explore leach chemistry, impurities, redox processes, kinetics, and heap hydrodynamics. Apply diagnostic tests, sampling techniques, and mass balance calculations to pinpoint losses, implement fixes, optimise acid usage, and deliver data-driven recommendations to management.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper heap leach chemistry: forecast copper 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 inform solutions.
- Operational optimisation: harmonise acid consumption, copper recovery, costs, and SX feed standards.
- Quantitative reporting: construct copper and acid mass balances plus concise management reports.
