What is GALVANOX™?
GALVANOX™ is a set of methods for leaching copper from concentrates containing a mixture of copper sulphides, but particularly those containing chalcopyrite (CuFeS2).
UBC researchers David G Dixon and Alain F Tshilombo developed the novel process for the galvanically-assisted atmospheric leaching of primary copper concentrates.
