Both methods should be used with caution when concentration levels approach lower limits of detection of the analytical methods employed, as performance gates calculated from standard deviations tend to be excessively wide whereas those determined by the 5% method are too narrow.

Sulfuric acid concentrations of 2–8 M resulted in initial and final copper recoveries of 15% and 22%, respectively. Nitric acid, in concentrations from 0.01 to 14 M, yielded maximum copper extraction at 10.5 M, achieving 71% Cu recovery, with around 50% recovery within the 3–9 M HNO 3 range.

Concentration of Ores. An ore of a metal is an impure source, this means other than the metal it consists of many other impurities such as sand, grit, clay, rocks etc. These impurities are collectively known as gangue. Gangue is generally commercial valueless and we must separate it from the ore. This entire process is the concentration of ores ...

Concentration of ore is the process used to extract useful minerals by separating the gangue particles. Concentration of ore can be done by 4 methods: Hydraulic Washing, Magnetic Separation, Froth Floatation, Leaching. Hydraulic washing depends upon the weights of the metal and gangue particles.
