Copper tailings are a common byproduct of copper production, containing high levels of heavy metals which are released into the environment. Conventional methods have historically prioritized copper recovery, and often overlooking the leaching of other valuable elements. However, the rising demand for nonferrous metals necessitates understanding their leaching behavior from copper tailings. This study examined the atmospheric leaching of Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, and CuO from a polymetallic tailing ore. Leaching recoveries of 63.5% for Cu, 97.5% for CuO, 1% for Fe, and 100% for Zn were achieved under the optimum conditions of 0.5 M sulfuric acid concentration, 25% solids percentage, 65°C, stirring speed of 100rpm, particle size of 75 µm within 30 minutes. Results indicated that the dissolution of oxide minerals such as CuO and ZnO was significant; however, copper sulfides need oxidant to be dissolved. In this condition, iron oxides and silicates were partially reacted by sulfuric acid, and Pb-bearing minerals formed lead sulfate. The presence of iron and lead-bearing minerals in the leaching residue was confirmed by XRF, XRD, and SEM analyses, and was in agreement with the information displayed in the Eh-pH diagrams.
