Hydrometallurgy in Kghm Polska Miedz SA – Circumstances, Needs and Perspectives of Application

摘要: Systematically shrinking copper resources and remarkably declining ores grade leads to the growing role of hydrometallurgical processes in manufacturing accompanying metals. Technical, economical, ecological aspects application hydrometallurgy were discussed with regard dominating smelting methods. Specific conditions Polish industry evaluated important necessary at KGHM for more effective processing concentrates indicated. The unit operations compulsory unique industry: high content carbonates, decreasing Cu, increasing Pb, As, organic carbon analyzed. Hydrometallurgy was recognized as only real chance rational utilization metal from deposits. advantageous chemical mineralogical composition easy access t...
