The study has supported a conceptual flow sheet using the AmmLeach process in a heap-leaching, solvent extraction and steam-stripping process to produce a zinc oxide product.
Both the firms are discussing on the bench-scale work, column testing and a demonstration test plant designed to further test the application of the AmmLeach process.
The adoption of heap leaching would eliminate the need for milling, agitation leaching equipment and solid-liquid separation.
