Engineering design and operations of metal extraction from low grade mineral deposits in a heap.
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 121A ; CHEM 121L ; MATH 127 or higher.
Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. supervise, manage, and identify geological deposits to obtain a representative sample and select lab metallurgical heap leach tests.
2. supervise, manage, and identify geological deposits to obtain a representative sample and select lab metallurgical heap leach tests.
3. compare and contrast lab metallurgical test work and data to determine the optimal heap leach design and flowsheet for an ore.
4. understand and be able to communicate the principles, chemistry and physical properties of solution mining and heap leaching.
5. identify heap leach operational problems with steps to improve metal recovery, reduce costs and ensure closure plans.
6. identify, explain and moderate hazards and environmental aspects of solution mining.
