ABSTRACT A study on microwave assisted chalcocite leaching was carried out with a microwave hydrothermal reactor. The leaching was conducted with thick mineral slurries (50-100g/l). The leaching media is a mixed solution of CuCl 2 and NaCl. The investigation included the effect of leaching temperature, quantities of the minerals per unit slurry volume as well as the initial concentration of cupri...
