Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015081385A1] A method of processing a copper-containing source material is provided whereby an aqueous acidic leach solution of the copper-containing source material is formed and then contacted with a pH increasing agent to thereby cause the precipitation of a copper-containing intermediate. The copper- containing intermediate can then be collected and exposed to a high temperature treatment, such as would be encountered in smelter or converter operations.
