THE HEAP LEACH PROBLEM Heap leaching is a conceptually simple process but has several characteristics that make modelling the flowsheet quite complicated Fundamentally it is a slow process There is a substantial time lag between stacking ore and producing the final product During this time the soluble inventory buildsMunicipal solid waste incineration bottom ash MSWI BA is the main output of the municipal solid waste incineration process both in mass and volume It contains some heavy metals that possess market value but may also limit the utilization of the material This study illustrates a robust and simple heap leaching method for recovering zinc and copper from MSWI BA

The purpose of a column leach test is not so much to duplicate in a laboratory test the results that can be expected from a commercial heap leaching operation but to collect kinetic information on the ore being evaluated so that scale up equations can be validated which will allow the projection of the commercial heap leach operation s The purpose of a column leach test is not so much to duplicate in a laboratory test the results that can be expected from a commercial heap leaching operation but to collect kinetic information on the ore being evaluated so that scale up equations can be validated which will allow the projection of the commercial heap leach operation s

Air for instance is blown into the heap through air lines situated under the leach pad Since these naturally occurring bacteria are present nearly everywhere they undoubtedly play a role in all acid leaching operations however these are not considered bacterial leaching since neither cultivated bacteria nor air are added and acid is appliedThe heap leaching is performed at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure without pre roasting or other beneficiation process The pregnant leach solution is continuously collected with leach material undergoing on average a 150 day heap leaching cycle
