Also, McNab (2006) reported 10–11% increase in gold leaching due to the HPGR micro-fracturing effect. HPGR or roller presses may also reduce the need for binder in agglomeration because the press forms flakes of aggregated ore that are fairly stable when exposed to a trickling cyanide solution ( Chamberlin, 1989 ).

Copper ore was collected from Fu Shun, Liao Ning province, China. Before HVP (high voltage pulse) pretreatment, the materials were crushed into a size of 25–40 mm. The main compositions in copper ore are quartz, feldspar, pyrite, chalcopyrite, mica, and a few other minerals. The content of quartz is highest of all of the minerals.

The copper head grades for copper oxide ore and copper sulfide ore samples were 0.3% and 0.8% respectively. The copper grade did not vary significantly with respect to particle size as shown in Table 1. The copper oxide ore contains mainly chrysocolla whereas the copper sulfide ore contains chalcocite, covellite and chalcopyrite.

Therefore, for typical porphyry copper ore, close to 99% of the treated ore volume is a costly by-product of the production of copper concentrate. At present, liberation of such minerals is achieved primarily through crushing and grinding of ore to a fragment size comparable to minerals grain size (80% passing size 100–300 μm).

1. Introduction. In situ leaching (ISL) is the circulation of a fluid through an ore deposit to dissolve a target metal or mineral, with subsequent return of the liquor to the surface for processing. In some cases, lixiviant is applied to formations using a system of injection and recovery wells (see Fig. 1 ).

Copper, nickel and gold ores will be exposed to high-power microwave radiation for short times at large particle sizes (up to 150 mm). The treatment will selectively heat value minerals, resulting in micro-fracture along grain boundaries that will reduce ore competency and increase mineral liberation after grinding.

This warrants the first conclusion: Statistically Eq. ( 4) is the best model for mines with milling/flotation. On the basis of this, an ore grade of 0.5, 0.4 and 0.3% at 300 m of depth results in an energy cost of 60, 127 and 447 MJ/kg for underground mines, and 52, 95 and 255 MJ/kg for surface mines, respectively.
