6,000 years of copper smelting : Center for the Study of Copper Smelting in Ancient Societies
… Beno Rothenberg began investigating the production of copper in the Sinai desert and Aravah region of southern Israel. He discovered over 650 previously unknown ancient copper mining and smelting sites. The Timna Valley is one of the most significant sites discovered and is believed to be …

Biooxidation kinetics of Leptospirillum Ferriphilum attached to a defined solid substrate
… leaching account for about 20% of the world’s copper production and are becoming popular methods of copper production from leaching low grade ores. It is therefore important that the kinetics of irrigation type bioleaching systems are well understood. A strategy to determine the microbial …

The mineralogical deportment of radionuclides in South Australian Ca-Au-(U) ores
Iron-oxide copper gold (IOCG)-uranium deposits represent South Australia’s primary resource base for copper production. The presence of daughter radionuclides (RN) from the 238U decay series within the ores necessitates a detailed understanding of their mineralogical deportment as a pre-requisite …

Hydrophobic-Hydrophilic Separation Process for the Recovery of Ultrafine Particles
The demands for copper and rare earth elements (REEs) in the U.S. will keep rising due to their applications in green energy technologies. Meanwhile, copper production in the U.S. has been declining over the past five years due to the depletion of high-grade ore deposits. The situation for REEs is …
