The Leaching of Copper Oxide Ore in Ammonium Chloride Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the leaching effect of copper oxide ore was investigated using ammonium chloride solution as leaching agent. The effects of temperature, concentration of ammonium chloride, average particle size and stirring speed on the leaching of copper oxide ore were investigated. The leaching rate increased with increasing solution temperature, concentration, and stirring speed as well as with decreasing average particle size. Ammonium chloride solution can therefore be used as an effective leaching agent for copper extraction from copper oxide ore.
