Advances in Mineral Processing and Hydrometallurgy

The activation energy of the process increases to 86.76 kJ/mol for Cu and 92.15 kJ/mol for Ag. Using the time-to-a-given-fraction method, it has been shown that a high activation energy is required in the later stages of the process, when the most resistant sulfide minerals of copper and silver apparently remain.

Introduction to Mineral Processing or Beneficiation

This process of size reduction is called comminution. The crushing and grinding process will produce a range of particles with varying degrees of liberation (Figure 2). Any particles that exceed a target size required for physical separation or chemical extraction are returned to the crushing or the grinding circuit.

Hydrometallurgy

Hydrometallurgy source is linked to alchemists that tried the transmutation of some metals to gold.
