This report provides a comprehensive cost evaluation of the production of copper from copper oxide ore via hydrometallurgy. The process starts with mining the ores from open pits, followed by transporting the ores to processing sites where the ores are crushed into smaller sizes. The crushed ores are then subjected to heap leaching, where dilute sulfuric acid is used to dissolve the copper from the ores and the resultant solution of sulfuric acid and copper, also called pregnant leach solution, is then collected.
Heap leaching is furthered by solvent extraction. The pregnant leach solution is mixed with an immiscible solvent so that copper can migrate from the leach solution to the solvent, followed by the separation of the two liquids. Copper in the solvent remains. Thus, the copper solution is then subjected to electrowinning or electrolysis, with the copper solution as an electrolyte, thus giving pure copper on the cathode plate.
