copper ore crushing heap leaching
TENORM: Copper Mining and Production Wastes
Heap Leaching. In contrast to dump leaching, heap leaching refers to the application of chemicals to low-grade ore that has been crushed and deposited on a specially designed pad. The pad is lined with synthetic or natural materials such as polyethylene or compacted clay. Copper heap leach operations are much smaller than …
