New Innovations in Drip Irrigation for Heap Leaching. The process of leaching ore to breakdown and extract metals has been around for many centuries. However, only in the last 40 years has the process been refined into what we now refer to as modern day "heap leaching," also known as "leach mining" and "run of mine dump …

While heap leach systems seem relatively simple at first glance, they can be quite complex. Basically, ore is crushed to a certain consistency and placed on the pad. A solution is distributed using an irrigation system, which percolates through the heap liberating the metals. The pregnant solution is collected and processed.

Water is a key resource input to copper heap leach operations in both quality and quantity. A number of recent developments in analysis of the technology have shown that water consumption can be optimised. The leach consumption has been generally considered in terms of minimisation of the evaporative loss by changing the application method …

As with the leach pad liner system, the drip irrigation system also has to withstand the harsh chemical stresses and environmental conditions it is subjected to. Moreover, the drip irrigation system should provide excellent anti-clogging resistance, and offer exceptional leaching solution distribution throughout every solution drop point.
