An Excel-based mathematical model simulating the Base Metal's Refinery Secondary Leach operation is developed in this thesis. Fundamental building blocks of batch leach data, equipment specifications, process conditions and feed characteristics are used to develop the model.

In the present study the model is specifically used to investigate the cause of the reduced leach efficiencies that the plant is experiencing. 2014-12-28T20:14:57Z 2014-12-28T20:14:57Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10461 eng application/pdf University of Cape Town Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment Centre for Bioprocess Engineering Research
