Iron Recovery Technology from Copper Processing Plants

Abstract

The article provides information about the initial elements in the waste and tailings of the copper processing plant of the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Combine and theoretical solutions for the extraction of metals. According to chemical data, the amount of iron in the waste is high (52.6%), and the most effective solution for extracting iron from the waste is the reduction process. An increase in the amount of iron to 88.9% was formed using coal and lime as reducing agents.
