Analysis of factors affecting the effect of stope leaching

The industrial test and industrial trial production of stope leaching were carried out at Taoshan orefield of Dabu deposit.The results of test and trial production showed obvious differences in leaching rate and leaching time.Compared with industrial trial production of stope leaching,the leaching rate of industrial test was higher,and leaching time was shorter.It was considered that the blasting method and liquid arrangement were the main factors affecting the leaching rate and leaching time according to analysis.So we put forward the following suggestions:the technique of deep hole slicing tight-face blasting was used to reduce the yield of lump ores,the effective liquid arrangement methods were adopted to make the lixiviant infiltrating throughout whole ore heap,and bacterial leaching was introduced.
