Heap leaching a process by which metals such as gold and copper are recovered from ore has long been a method of choice in ore beneficiation with appliions growing all the time.. While this process has proven to be efficient often chosen for its cost-effectiveness the efficiency of the heap leaching process can be further improved through the addition of an agglomeration drum.
