OreAI Copper: initial phase of advanced characterisation of ore in small-scale column tests using X-ray CT

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    These Research Activities focus on applying the XCT analytical methods developed at ANU to investigate their applicability in quantifying a range of ore characteristics expected to affect copper availability in heap leaching. The Research Activities will be guided by the following questions: 1. What are the physical properties of an ore that could influence the availability1 of copper within that ore to be leached via heap leaching? 2. How might ore characteristics such as porosity be linked to the corresponding leaching and recovery of copper from the ore?
