ABSTRACT
Leach-cementation operations were applied to produce impure copper from the sulphating roasted
ore. Effect of acid concentration and temperature on the extraction of copper from the ore into the
leaching solution were studied. The cementation tests were conducted with two different stirring
devices. One, mild steel disc and the second a propeller. The mild steel disc was used to provide a
uniformly accessible surface for the kinetic study of cementation of copper with iron in sulphate solution.
