The dissolution of carbonate gangue minerals, which are often ubiquitous in copper deposits, leads to the consumption of large amounts of acid during the leaching of such ores, which can make the process uneconomical (Habashi, 1970, Habashi, 1980, You-Cai et al., 2013).Table 1 shows the acid consumption and estimated time to complete the dissolution of …

This does work in many cases, but it seems to take forever. On some pieces, it seems like it will take me 20-30 runs with this method to clean things out. The worst cases are those with copper and distinct calcite crystals, with matrix I want to remove. The copper is durable for the water gun, but I have to really be careful near the calcite.

Principal forms in which copper ores are found include native copper, porphyry copper, massive deposits, and mixed ores. Native copper is simply the metal found unadulterated in nature. Occasionally copper is still found in its native form, but more frequently it is mixed with other minerals, some of which may have value themselves. The amount of copper in an ore can …
