An experimental evaluation of the leaching kinetics of PGM-containing Ni–Cu–Fe–S Peirce Smith converter matte, under atmospheric leach conditions

In a first stage atmospheric leach in a typical Sherritt Ni–Cu matte leach process, a Ni–Cu–Fe–S Peirce Smith converter matte is contacted with recycled copper spent electrolyte (an aqueous copper sulphate/sulphuric acid solution) at 85 °C with the purpose of dissolving nickel, while simultaneously...
