An investigation into the leaching behaviour of copper oxide minerals in aqueous alkaline glycine solutions

Copper oxide minerals are normally extracted by acidic leaching followed by copper recovery with solvent extraction and electrowinning. However, copper oxide deposits often containing large amounts of acid consumable gangue leads to a very high acid consumption. In addition, if the oxide deposit als...
