| Abstract: |
| In-situ leaching technology has become the mainstream process for uranium mining and is gradually being applied to the development of metal resources such as copper, gold, and rare earths. This paper systematically reviews the industrial application status and research progress of in-situ leaching technology for copper ores, summarizing the geological and hydrogeological characteristics of deposits suitable for this process as well as its basic requirements. On this basis, considering the common features of copper resources in China, such as low grade, small to medium scale, and a high proportion of oxidized ores, the application potential and development directions of in-situ leaching technology in China are analyzed. The aim is to provide references for promoting the efficient and environmentally friendly development of refractory and difficult-to-utilize copper resources in China. |
