FOERFARANDE FOER UTVINNING AV ICKE-JAERNMETALLER UR SULFIDMATERIAL

摘要

A method for recovering copper and/or other non-ferrous metals from sulphidic raw material by roasting the material to a substantially sulphur-free state and then in a separate furnace sulphatize the roasted material into a form of a readily soluble sulphate and/or basic sulphate and then leaching the sulphatized material with an aqueous sulphuric acid solution. Copper and/or other non-ferrous metals are recovered from the spent leaching solution. The leaching solution is after said recovering recirculated to the leaching stage and to the roasting stage.
