July 5, 2018. Agglomeration drums bring increased metal recovery to the copper heap leaching process. Shane Le Capitaine. Two copper ore drums used for heap leaching. The drums are positioned at a slight incline to allow gravity to assist in moving ore fines through the drum. All graphics courtesy of FEECO International.

The agglomerated ore is cured in the heap for 48 hr before leaching. The heap is leached in 5 days by spraying solution containing 1 lb NaCN per ton over the heap at a rate of 0.033 gpm/ft². The cement added during agglomeration is sufficient for protective alkalinity.

Agglomeration drums, also known as agglomerators, work by agglomerating the ore fines into rounded, more uniform pellets. This creates a more efficient leach, because round pellets allow more spaces between pellets for more even permeability. Agglomeration drums also provide an opportunity for pre-mixing the leaching solution with the ore, to ...
