The oxidation of sulfide-based ores is industrially relevant as it facilitates the extraction of valuable metals and eliminates undesired elements from an ore. Even though oxidation can be done thermally (pyrometallurgy), solution-based (hydrometallurgical) methods are currently sought as they represent a more sustainable option. Here, the leaching of a …

A new concept for copper (Cu) metal leaching by the simultaneous use of cupric ions (Cu2+) and oxygen (O2) was proposed to improve Cu metal leaching in sulfuric acid. According to this concept, Cu2+ oxidizes Cu metal into cuprous ion (Cu+), and O2 oxidizes Cu+ into Cu2+. The improvement in Cu leaching efficiency from Cu metal was investigated …
