Heap leach recovery vs. crush size At the end of the simulations, 80% of -4.65 mm crushing product target with 55.4% -3.35 mm was achieved with the capacity around 200 (±10%) Mg/h. Particles having 3.35 mm was the leach size for the best recovery.

operation of the heap leaching process also increases. The heap leaching of copper ores is an example of such a trend, where heap leaching was initially applied only to the acid leaching of oxide ores. The most important factors to be considered in oxide heap leaching are the copper dissolution, acid consumption, and gangue chemistry.

Minerals 2018, 8, 9 15 of 20 Figure 9. Composition of recovered solution for intermittent leach. The final simulation assumed the acid applied to the heap remained unchanged, i.e., for an intermittent leach where the volume of solution is halved the H 2 SO 4 in the leach solution was increased to 1.54 gpl. As can be seen in Figure 10, the grams of copper recovered per litre of …

a posteriori. The simulation of the heap leaching allows the planner to estimate the impact on the productivity of the implementation of di erent modes of operation [6] in response to variations in the mineralogical composition of ores. 1.2. Heap Leaching After the comminution phase, the copper ores pass to the leaching stage, where the metals
