Simulation of the in Situ Leaching Process of Valeriite Ore and Tailings of Copper-Nickel Ore in the Norilsk Industrial Area

Abstract

rich ores of non-ferrous metals and the accumulation of products of their processing in tailings containing nonextracted non-ferrous and precious metals causes increased interest in the search for technological solutions for their development. Among the promising approaches are the use of capillary rise of leaching solutions and salting out of non-ferrous metal ions mobilized into the liquid phase. According to various estimates, the annual waste from mining and metallurgical production in Russia is more than 5 billion tons.
