Engineering techniques used for biohydrometallurgy span from above ground reactor, vat, pond, heap and dump leaching to underground in situ leaching. Traditionally biohydrometallurgy has been applied to the bioleaching of base metals and uranium from sulfides and the biooxidation of sulfidic refractory gold ores and concentrates before cyanidation.
Dump leaching and in situ leaching can be thought of as sub-sets of heap leaching in that solutions percolate through a bed of ore and copper is recovered from the leachate. Typically, dump leaching, with minimal ore preparation, is used to extract copper from low-grade ("run-of-mine") ore (0.1–0.5% Cu).

Sun Jan 04, 2015 1:08 am. [quote="rx_11"]leaching, the recovery of copper from the drainage water of mines, as a method of the extraction of minerals, it was well established as early as the eighteenth century, but until about 25 years ago miners did not realize that bacteria taken an active part in the process.
Maintaining the stability of the dump may require relocation of weathered rock or material blending, especially if water is present [9]. • If it is a dump leach, a leaching cycle time will define the mining delivery rate and dumping schedule. Ideally, deliveries rate from the mine should match the leaching cycle times of the dump.
This review describes the historical development and current state of metals leaching and sulfide mineral biooxidation by the minerals industries. During the past 20 years commercial processes employing microorganisms for mineral recovery have progressed from rather uncontrolled copper dump leaching to mineral oxidation and leaching in designed …
In contrast to other dump leach operations, this leach pad will be sealed at its base and leaching will be managed using air injection to control sulphide oxidation. Metallurgical testwork carried out to date has included a 300,000 tonne test …
Leaching tests further confirmed the high reactivity of the mixed dump as high extraction rates were obtained for iron, with the maximum iron extraction efficiency of 95.37% reported at 100 °C, 2 ...

The rest comes from mines using dump or heap leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning to produce cathode copper. Most copper mines are large, low grade, open pits. Typically, these operations treat over 50,000 t/d of …
Dump leaching refers to the leaching of low- grade ore that has been deposited directly on the ground. The pregnant leach solution is typically collected in unlined natural drainage basins. In contrast, heap leaching refers to the leaching of ore that …
In contrast, the release of dissolved Cd and Te species was negligible in the methanogenic column. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first attempt to comparatively assess the leaching behavior of a CdTe solar panel by considering both simulated acidic and methanogenic landfill conditions in a continuous flow fashion.
Leaching and Oxidation Resistance of MgO·Cr2O3. Fixing of Chromium. This report presents the results of research aimed at evaluating and preventing the leaching action that may result from the disposal of waste ferrous …
The dump leaching of low-grade copper ores, as an integral part of the open-pit mining operations in the Southwest, has been practiced for the last fifty …
In contrast, the CN soluble recovery averaged 91 % in the Enriched zone, 94% in the Lower Transition ore grade material and 32% in the Primary Sulfides. Maximum reported recovery in the primary zone was 68% of total. These CN recoveries are believed to be unlikely in leaching practice particularly in that

In contrast to dump leaching, heap leaching refers to the leaching of low-grade ore that has been deposited on a specially prepared pad (e.g., synthetic, asphalt, or compacted clay pad). In heap leaching, the ore is frequently crushed prior to emplacement. Site-specific characterisitcs determine the nature and extent of the leaching operations ...
The known industrial applications of waste and uranium ores are based on heap leaching, dump leaching, percolation leaching, mine waters biotransformation (Chmielewski et …
characteristics of the dump materials; and 2. to identify key implications for dump construction for ARD control. The results of geochemical and mineralogical tests indicate that the waste rock at Site 1 had undergone significant in-dump weathering and was relatively advanced with respect to ARD evolution. In contrast, the
However, in contrast to heap leaching or dump leaching processes (Yin et al., 2018b, Yin et al., 2018c, Wu et al., 2009b), no large-area preferential flow or unsaturated regions formed inside leaching systems (Yin et al., 2016) owing to the homogeneous reaction in the shake flash experiment. 3.3.

Geophysical surveys were used to identify kilns, pits, and dumps. One of these pits and a dump were excavated, followed by detailed chemical and physical analyses of the materials encountered. The pit had been used for holding brine, obtained by leaching of lagoonal sediment over a sieve, that afterwards was discarded to form large dumps.
The leaching of the dump was the earliest engineering technology, and later, the method of leaching of the planned heap on an impermeable pad was developed (Johnson 2008; Pradhan et al. 2008).. In the in situ bioleaching, an acidic leaching solution containing microorganisms is passed through underground cracks made by explosives, and then, the …

Heap leaching is one of several leaching methods. Heap leaching is, in contrast to many dump leaching operations, a pre-planned process where arrangements are made to optimize conditions for leaching. In brief, the mineral ore or concentrate is piled in a heap and lixiviant fluid is distributed over the surface to leach metal from the heap ...
