Improvement of Copper Metal Leaching in Sulfuric Acid Solution by Simultaneous Use of Oxygen and Cupric Ions
A new concept for copper (Cu) metal leaching by the simultaneous use of cupric ions (Cu<sup>2+</sup>) and oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) was proposed to improve Cu metal leaching in sulfuric acid. According to this concept, Cu<sup>2+</sup> oxidizes Cu metal into cuprous i...
