application of sulphuric acid in copper mining

: Sulfuric acid injection in copper heap leaching | LEWA
Following mining, transporting and crushing to a consistent gravel-size, the ore is piled into a heap on top of an impenetrable layer on a slight slope. The leaching reagent (dilute sulfuric acid) is sprayed through sprinklers on top of the heap pile and allowed to trickle down through the heap, where it dissolves the copper from the ore.

: The Role of Sulphuric Acid in Copper Plating
2022-2-7 · The sulfuric acid in a copper electrolyte is there for two reasons, one is to keep the copper in solution, you only used a 0,1 m solution, if you use higher concentrations your copper sulfate will partially get Cu (OH) 2 . Also the sulfuric acid gives you a better conductivity and with this comes a better throwing power.
