The present study introduces a new approach to understand the copper dissolution rate and to find an adapted mathematical statement for particle shrinkage rate in a batch bioleaching system. Four size classes of a chalcopyrite concentrate, namely [D1 : (−54 + 44)μm, D2 : (−44 + 38)μm, D3 : (−38 + 25)μm and D4 : (−25)μm], were used in the batch bioleaching …
An examination of the extracted fraction of copper over time at a constant temperature of 45°C with different particle sizes (Fig. 3) shows that a larger amount of copper can be leached from the chalcopyrite concentrate in a shorter time as the particles decrease in size. For the 53–63 µm particles, 90 pct of the copper was leached within 6 ...
Copper concentrate powdered to the particle size of 0.1 mm was burned in an electric furnace at different temperatures for 40 min. Then the prepared cakes after cooling were leached with water at room temperature at pH ~ 3–4.

On the other hand, Gibson et al. (); Huston and Fox (), and Dudill (), using natural sediment and one particle size, characterized vertical movements of fine sediment into the substrate as: (i) unimpeded static percolation, when fine sediments can move freely in the bed depth towards some physical barrier, and (ii) bridging, when the fine sediment cannot move …
4. Particle size Copper concentrates have particles sizes <100 µm. Table 3 summarizes the particle size distributions of 23 copper concentrates and concludes on a typical median particle diameter of 27 µm. The respirable fraction (<10µm) is typically less than 33%. Particle size distribution Range 10th P 50th P 90th P D50 - µm 6-80 16 27 55
In this method, oxides including mill scale are first ground to control particle size and then reduced by a gas, usually carbon monoxide, hydrogen or cracked natural gas at temperatures below the melting point of copper. Particle size and shape can be controlled within rather wide limits by varying the particle size and shape of the oxides, the ...

In this research, numerical simulation of three-phase flow (airflow, sulfide concentrate particles, and liquid fuel droplets) within a copper flash smelting furnace was conducted to investigate the effect of combustion of the sulfur present in the sulfide concentrates on temperature distribution and species production. The effect of sulfide concentrate size, …
process quality. Thus, copper concentrate enters the dryer before being charged to the flash furnace and the moisture content of the concentrate is reduced from 7%–10% to less than 0.3%. Otherwise, excessive moisture can cause con-centrate particles to fall to the settler zone before they melt and oxidize completely.
An optimal particle size region with maximal copper recovery was found. At the same time, size fractions with significant copper losses were identified. Size basis analysis of the flotation rates and recommendation for performance improvement of the flotation and grinding process, are presented in this paper.
By example a typical copper concentrate may have a TML of 9% moisture. Given that at the incompressible limit the cake will have a solids fraction of about 50% v/v and for solids with an sg of 4.3 the moisture would be 18.9% w/w without gas displacement. ... Particle size, grade and surface chemistry all have significant effects but seldom can ...
