Sulfuric acid leaching for capturing value from copper rich converter slag
Abstract
In this research, a hydrometallurgical method for recovery of copper from copper rich converter slag is investigated. The main copper containing phases of the slag are cuprite (Cu2O), delafossite (CuFeO2) and metallic copper (Cu). The study investigates the effect of particle size, temperature, acid concentration, agitation and leaching time under oxidizing conditions. The results showed that at optimized conditions (40 °C, 2 M H2SO4, 60 min...
