What will I learn?
This Hydrometallurgy Course gives you practical tools to improve copper oxide heap leaching performance. You will review key leach chemistry, impurity behavior, redox control, kinetics, and heap hydrodynamics, then apply diagnostic tests, sampling, and mass balance calculations to identify losses, design corrective actions, optimize acid use, and confidently report clear, data-based recommendations to management.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper heap leach chemistry: predict Cu dissolution, speciation and impurity behavior.
- Heap hydrodynamics control: tune irrigation, aeration and acid to lift recovery fast.
- Diagnostic testing in heaps: design sampling, ANC and column tests that guide fixes.
- Operational optimization: balance acid use, Cu recovery, costs and SX feed quality.
- Quantitative reporting: build Cu and acid mass balances and clear management reports.
