This quantity acknowledges the becoming position of solvent extraction and electrowinning know-how on the earth copper enterprise. This well-established, amazing hydrometallurgical fulfillment fills a tremendous function in our technical skill to extract copper in an effective and low-priced way.
This complaints files the current prestige of the SX-EW enterprise. It represents a considerable physique of ancient, clinical, engineering, and advertisement information about the expansion and alertness of the technology.

Value of Information in the Earth Sciences: Integrating Spatial Modeling and Decision Analysis
Accumulating the proper and the correct quantity of knowledge is important for any decision-making strategy. This publication provides a unified framework for assessing the worth of power facts accumulating schemes through integrating spatial modelling and selection research, with a spotlight in the world sciences. The authors speak about the price of imperfect as opposed to excellent info, and the worth of overall as opposed to partial info, the place in basic terms subsets of the knowledge are got.

Chalcopyrite) copper concentrates have been actively investigated. Many of these have advanced to pilot scale testing and a few to demonstration or smallscale commercial production. To date, the true “hydrometallurgical smelter” has not become a reality, but three current contenders are discussed in this presentation. Despite the rather broad title, the scope of this presentation is limited to autoclave pressure oxidation (“POx”) of copper concentrates (or high-grade ores) containing a major proportion of copper as chalcopyrite, the most common economic copper mineral and the most refractory to hydrometallurgical processing.
Interprocess comparisons, an objective of this presentation, are therefore based on copper recovery from PLS and other solutions by SX-EW. This levels the field by (roughly) equalizing postleach copper recovery and product quality. Placer Dome—Total Pressure Oxidation. The POx component of Placer’s process (see Figure 1) is essentially the same as typical high severity industrial POx of refractory gold ores/concentrates. Reground concentrate is slurried in acidic recycle solution and pumped into the first compartment of an autoclave operated at 210–220°C with oxygen sparged to maintain (about) 700 kPa (100 psig) of overpressure.
