The bacteria used in the Talvivaara process grow naturally in the ore, and the company reports recovery rates of up to 98% of metal from ore to solution. The heap leaching will be operated in two stages, a primary heap pad residence time of 1.5 years and a secondary pad residence time of 3.5 years. Process plant.
Management of Copper Heap Leach Projects: A Geologist's Perspective
Copper heap leaching is a rate-dependent process sensitive to copper mineralogy (copper oxides > secondary sulfides > hypogene sulfides), driven by the pH of the leach solution, the activity of ferric iron (Fe3+ (aq)) dissolved in the leach solution, and temperature.
