Learn MoreThe sulphuric acid plant has been designed to capture 80% or more of the sulphur dioxide emissions from the copper smelter. The guaranteed conversion efficiency is % at nominal capacity. Although performance testing has not been fully completed, data collected to date indicates in excess of % for acid production rates less than the nominal rate of 3700 t/d.

Learn MoreThe sulphur dioxide gases generated in the smelting process is collected and ducted to the Sulphuric Acid Plant. Set up with basic engineering from Kvaerner Chemetics, Canada, the plant is based on the absorption process known as DCDA, and has a designed capacity to produce (3600) tonnes of sulphuric acid per day.
Learn More· In this process, copper is selectively precipitated as Cu 2 S using H 2 S or NaHS. Commercial applications include treatment of low grade acidic waste solutions, multi
Learn More· Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) : Manufacture by contact process, properties, uses, test and structure. Sulphuric acid is widely used chemical in industries. It is used in the manufacture of fertilizers, drugs, dyes, polymers, etc. thousands of tons of sulphuric acid is manufactured every year worldwide. So it is called king of chemicals.
Learn MoreMany hydrometallurgical processes produce large amounts of acid waste. This is illustrated by the copper S/X-E/W process which produces a bleed from the electrolysis tank house in the form of a concentrated sulphuric acid stream. Currently, the bleed stream is necessary to remove impurities such as iron that decreases the efficiency of the electrowinning process.
Learn Morecopper processing, the extraction of copper from its ores and the preparation of copper metal or chemical compounds for use in various products. In its pure form or as an alloy, copper (Cu) is one of the most important metals in society. The pure metal has a face-centred cubic crystal structure, and there is no critical temperature at which this crystal structure changes.

Learn MoreThe largest amount of sulfuric acid is used to make phosphoric acid, which in turn is used to make the phosphate fertilizers, calcium dihydrogenphosphate and the ammonium phosphates. KCM's new Nchanga smelter includes a 1,850 ton per day sulphuric acid plant, which produces sulphuric acid primarily for KCM's Tailings Leach Plant (TLP).
Learn More· Sulphuric Acid Manufacturing Process. Sulphuric Acid is world's most produced chemical because of its widespread use in not only in Chemical, Metallurgical, Process, Petrochemical, Fertilizer industries but also in electrical and electronics, Semiconductor industries and also in variety of labs all around the world.
Learn Moreworth noting, firstly the acid generated in the oxidation of the sulphides in the concentrate pressure leaching step and that produced in the extraction of copper from the pregnant leach solution (PLS) is available for use in a copper heap leaching unit process. In this way, an acid credit to the operating cost is derived (Dreisinger, 2022).
Learn Morecopper electroplating, via fill, through hole plating, metallization . INTRODUCTION . Copper is the most preferable metal used in electronic industry due to its electrical and thermal conductivity properties and the possibility of electroplating. The acid copper plating process is widely used in the mass production.
