Abstract
In this thesis we deal with modeling and simulating the copper column leaching. The ore
with 2.22% copper grade used in this study. Chalcopyrite (CuF eS2) was main mineral in the
test sample. Pyrite (F eS2) was determined as the main gauge mineral of the sample. Three
experiments produced with different flow rates which were 5.46l/h/m2
, 10.25l/h/m2 and
16.4l/h/m2 with 3g/l sulfuric acid concentration (H2SO4) on column. Thus experiments were
continued for 15 days.
