Features: The book is divided into 10 chapters, primarily elaborating on the fundamental processes and technologies of modern copper hydrometallurgy, including copper oxide ore leaching-extraction-electrowinning. It strives to reflect the cutting-edge technologies and development trends in copper hydrometallurgy. The book provides detailed descriptions of recent advancements in copper hydrometallurgy, such as thin-layer leaching, bioleaching, in-situ leaching, new extractants, new extraction equipment, new electrode materials, and cathode copper stripping technology. Additionally, it introduces several new hydrometallurgical processes for sulfide copper ores that have garnered international attention, as well as the basic conditions of two new hydrometallurgical copper plants in Australia, from testing and design to operation, serving as references for newly constructed domestic plants. The book emphasizes industrial applications, covering various processes from experimental methods, engineering design, and industrial implementation, aiming to help readers not only understand but also practice the technologies. This book is suitable for researchers, designers, educators, and management personnel engaged in non-ferrous metallurgy, particularly in the hydrometallurgy of heavy non-ferrous metals. The book includes ten chapters, primarily elaborating on the fundamental processes and technologies of modern copper hydrometallurgy, including copper oxide ore leaching-extraction-electrowinning, and strives to reflect the cutting-edge technologies and development trends in copper hydrometallurgy. It also describes recent advancements in copper hydrometallurgy.
