Nadkarni and Wadsworth state that copper cementation is a first order reaction rate process. However, deviations from first order kinetics were observed at low stirring speeds and attributed to the buildup of copper on the iron surface, increasing the diffusion path length. Based upon these observations, it was conjectured that automobile-body ...

Generally, copper ores contain approximatively 0.40–0.48% of copper, 4–60% of iron and 4.5% of sulfur (Han et al., 2017; Jena et al., 2019) in the form of chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) and minor amounts of pyrite, sphalerite and galena. Chalcopyrite is a semiconductor that presents a tetragonal crystal system and contains sulfur atoms surrounded ...

Now the principal trend in recovering copper from solutions is the g~adual conversion from iron cementation to solvent extraction--electrowinning, which is a process developed from modern chemistry and hydrometallurgy. After 900 years of service, the importance of copper cementation on iron is diminishing, but may never vanish altogether.

The most important disadvantage of the cementation method is that it consumes much more iron than it should according to SR values due to side reactions (Demirkıran and Künkül 2011).Stoichiometrically, 0.88 kg of iron is required for precipitation of 1 kg of copper, while in practice, this amount is greater than 1 kg (Bor 1989; Yazıcı et al. 2006).
