This is an article in the field of metallurgical engineering.A copper cobalt ore Congo is an oxide ore with Cu 3.43%and Co 0.42%respectively.In this paper,the five stage cycle leaching process of leaching solution was used for the copper and cobalt leaching.The optimum conditions were as follows:the amount of sulfuric acid was 7.4%of the ore mass,the amount of sodium sulfite was 1.68 times of the theoretical amount,the grinding particle size of-74 μm accounts for 75%,leaching temperature was 45 ℃,the single-stage leaching time was 4 hours,and the liquid-solid volume mass ratio was between 2/1 and 3/1,the results showed that the leaching rate of copper and cobalt were 96.85%and 95.67%respectively.According to this leaching process,the amount of sulfuric acid was reduced by 6 kg/t compared with the primary leaching,and the total solution amount in the leaching process was reduced by about 1/4,which made the amount of subsequent cobalt precipitation and copper extraction solution was reduced.
