What is it about?
Increasing the rate and ultimate copper recovery from low-grade copper sources may be the most important problem affecting the economy of copper mining. This present research work is a study on microwave-irradiation application for copper recovery from two main types of copper ores (i.e., oxide and sulfide) was investigated.

Why is it important?
The results of rolling bottle tests showed that H2SO4 consumptions were lower in the pretreated ores in comparison with the conventional leaching tests. Leaching tests in shaking flasks by using the two types of ores showed a significant increase (up to 26% in some cases) in copper recoveries from pretreated ores.
