A Guide to Optimising Leaching Operations

haddow — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 10:24:16 +0000

Whether in heaps, tanks or in-situ operations, leaching plays a pivotal role in metal recovery, especially in the processing of copper and gold. While often seen as a lower-energy alternative to other extraction techniques, leaching is far from simple. The chemistry is dynamic, the operating conditions are harsh, and the process takes place over long and variable timeframes.
