The "Gall-Copper Process" was recorded as being used during the Song Dynasty (960-1271AD). Copper was precipitated from solution by dipping iron into the blue vil solution - a process identified as early as 150 BC in China. 6 Therefore, presumably, the recognition of a natural copper leaching process can be identified as early as that date.
The best copper extraction of 80.2% was found considering a pretreatment of 30 days, 25 kg/t of H 2 SO 4, 50 kg/t of NaCl, and a leaching solution concentration described previously with 2 g/L of Fe +2. The results showed the leaching of all copper oxide species and 20% of the copper sulfide species.
Therefore, this research aims to develop a copper recovery process from flotation tailings using high‒pressure leaching (HPL) followed by solvent extraction.
