Towards a concept for the deep processing of substandard metal-bearing raw materials
摘要
This article addresses challenges of lowering the production costs of mineral raw materials and mitigating the environmental impact of natural leaching from spent ores. The feasibility of comprehensively processing such materials depends on developing new methods to modify mineral properties. A typology of minerals based on their propensity for metal leaching has been developed. The technology under investigation is of particular interest for deposits with technologically accessible ores, which mining enterprises exploit in complex geological settings.
