Ammonia leaching research is carried out on a certain oxidised copper ores. The effects of oxidized copper ores which came from Yunnan Province were studied in laboratory in order to find out the optimum leaching conditions under normal temperature and pressure. The ores belonged to typical high binding rate minerals. The optimum conditions obtained were as follows: granding fineness about 90% -0.074mm, ammonia concentration 2 mol/l, ammonium fluoride concentration 1.5mol/l , leaching time 2h, and liquid-solid ratio 3:1.The leaching rate of this ore could reach 86%.

To improve the recovery of copper from refractory copper oxidized ore by sulfidization-flotation process. The result determined the optimal flotation process parameters of refractory copper oxidized ore, and the better quota selecting separately obtained by a large number of research. The copper concentrate grade reaches 10.85%, the recovery reaches 57.41%.

Flotation experimental research is carried out on a certain sulphide copper ore of Sifangjing in Huidong, Sichuan province. The ore exist in the deeper part of ore deposit. Because of the deep burried, the oxidation rate is relatively low. The ore belongs to the typical sulfide ore. For the characteristics of the mine and the scene of the test requirements, the use of direct flotation process has achieved a successful recovery of copper. In the cleaning operation ,Strengthen copper sulfur separation to obtain qualified copper concentrate. Under the proper process conditions ,the good technical indexes were obtained.

Floatation experimental research is carried out on a certain complicated ore containing mixed sulphides in Yannan province. For the characteristics of the mine and the scene of the test requirements, the use of mixed flotation-separation process has achieved a successful recovery of useful elements. Combination inhibitors can effectively achieve the separation of copper and sulfur .Under the proper process conditions ,the good technical indexes were obtained.

This paper use the copper content of copper-rich solution is 49.43g/L for electrolyte, and it effecting factors of the quality of electric copper electrodeposition are studied. The results show that under the these conditions of the electrodeposition current density is 180A/m2, and time of electrodeposition is 1.5h, concentration of NH4+ in electrolyte is less than 2g/L, thiourea is 40 g/t and Henkel glue is 40 g/t, the cathode copper which have less impurity content and Cu+Ag≥99.95% could be obtained.

The extractant LIX84-I that extracted and stripped copper in the ammonia leach solution of copper oxidized ores solution of were mainly studied for the experimentation examined the influence of the LIX84-I concentration, the extraction time, the phase ratio, the pH , the stripping sulfuric acid concentration and the stripping time. Laboratory Investigations indicated that LIX84-I is really an efficient copper extractant with a maximum extraction of as high as 99.91% under the conditions of 5.23g/L Cu in leach solution, LIX84-I concentration 7%, 3 min mixtures, phase ratio 1/1and pH﹥4.5. The stripping can be conducted with the barren electrolyte as a stripping agent in which the sulfuric acid concentration remains about 150g/L, and a stripping rate of 99.92% is obtained.
