· Using the bioleaching method the scientists were able to extract copper lead and zinc. They were able to recover 92.85 percent of copper. While the maximum amounts of lead and zinc were recovered within 48 hours it took 144 hours to extract that much copper according to The Indian Express. By using a couple of different techniques the
Chat OnlineThe Extraction of CopperChemistry LibreTexts
· The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite ((CuFeS_2)) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper.
