Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals, copper, uranium, and other compounds from ore using a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and re-separate them after their division from other earth materials. Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the ...

Heap leaching is one of the oldest and the most traditional mining process used to extract the valuable metals from specific minerals. Basically, this is a hydrometallurgical process in which the solution is applied for the dissolution of minerals from the ore that is used for the extraction of metals.

The heap is similar to a truncated cone with 6-10-meter height. This heap has a long leaching period of about 4-5 months, which is based on the principle of leaching most of the useful mineral in the heap and may require a leaching period for several years. After the leaching is completed, the waste is piled on the bottom pad. 3.
