Figure 1 - METSIM Flowsheet Components of the process, along with their physical and chemical properties, can be added to the model from a large database included in METSIM. Physical and chemical processes can be calculated within the unit operations. All unit operations havecommonly accepted textbook algorithms based on
1990). Pyro-hydrometallurgical methods are also used for the treatment of copper converter flue dusts and copper refining slags (taken from Sarkuysan A.S., Turkey) (Geveci et al., 2000; Yıldız et al., 2000). Alkali roast-acid leach process is reported in the literature for recovering metals from converter slag (Das et al., 1999).

The flowsheet in this study is designed to get the maximum recovery from a large tonnage of porphyry copper ore. The Copper Process Flowsheet Copper Ore Crushing. The crushing section consists of three-stage ore reduction with either a grizzly or vibrating screen between each crushing stage. Removing fines before putting the ore through a ...
The treatment of end-of-life printed circuit boards (EoL PCBs) presents a contemporary recycling challenge with significant environmental, economic and social dimensions. This reality has attracted interest in the development of sustainable treatment processes, founded on mineral processing and metallurgical processes. The present paper …
The Mineral Processing Flowsheets shown on the following pages are based on actual data obtained from successful operating plants. Metallurgical data are shown in these flowsheets which incorporate Crushers, Grinding Mills, Flotation Machines, Unit Flotation Cells, and Selective Mineral Jigs as well as other standard milling equipment. The Flotation Machine, …
In recent times, a low copper content in ores has been observed (ores containing 0.2–0.3% copper are used for processing in Canada and the United States, and ores containing at least 0.4% copper are used in Russia []) owing to the exhaustion of rich copper resources.The flowsheet of processing copper ores is developed for each particular ore, but there are some …
The process flowsheet is an almost completely closed cycle and, in theory, only copper oxide and electrical power are required to produce ultrapure copper metal. The flowsheet is composed of three interconnected closed circuits: the leaching (solubilization of Cu), solvent extraction (up-concentration and purification of Cu solution), and ...
The program has successfully validated the Baptiste processing strategy and lead to optimization of the processing flowsheet and key process parameters. Later in the second quarter of 2023, following completion of the PFS process design, the Company plans to issue another news release summarizing the final recovery basis for Baptiste based on ...

The kinetic of Cu solvoleaching was studied. Copper was further enriched following a stripping procedure. The recyclability of LIX 84-I, as a key factor of sustainability of the ammoniacal solvoleaching, was also investigated. A process flowsheet is then proposed that can be taken as a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to waste (WPCBs ...
