New processes for cleaning up copper concentrates
Alan Taylor, a well-known metallurgical consultant and managing director of ALTA Metallurgical Services, recently commented in his new blog MetBytes about how the industry is looking at ways to handle the problem of impurities in copper concentrates. He wrote: "Some new players have joined the list of hydromet processes for copper sulphide concentrates. A key driving force is increasing industry concerns in the transporting and smelting of concentrates with high impurity levels, especially arsenic. This has led some to focus on removal of impurities rather than total hydromet processing. The following is his summary of new developments in this area of hydrometallurgy. Oz Minerals is conducting a PFS for a NONOX type facility as part of its Carrapateena project in South Australia with a view to establishing a commercial operation in 2019. Successful pilot and demonstration plant campaigns and smelter trial tests have been carried out.
