Benefits of Agglomeration in an SX-EW Process for Copper …
An effective leaching step is critical to SX-EW, as it sets the stage for how much copper can be recovered. For this reason, the heap leaching step is commonly preceded by agglomeration of the ore in a rotary drum agglomerator. This offers significant benefits, ultimately yielding improved recovery rates. Agglomeration greatly improves the ...
