Hi We are planning a VAT leaching for HMS rejects of copper oxide ore. We are stuck at design and would value inputs. We are planning for a 5000 tons holding capacity for the VAT and feed grade is 1% copper. Size of feed passing 20 mm. Would there be any channeling effect in the VAT as we are planing to feed acid at the bottom at one point.

There are three fundamental steps to SX-EW: ore leaching, solvent extraction, and electrowinning. The first step consists of leaching the copper ore (which may be as prepared ore piles; pre-existing low grade, waste, or oxide dumps; or even in-situ material) with a weak acidic solution, which typically is sulfuric acid.
