Question and Answer column of The Tribune I have seen several Inquiries I In-quiries about processes for leaching copper ores I submit one to you that I have worked on since 1S83 hoping that if you publish the same It will be I of benefit to some one Interested In 1SSS Sam Gilson had some copper from the sandstone of Emery county which I leached to success At this time 1 was employed by G Lavagnlno of West Jordan as assayer and leacher of the Old Telegraph company No more was done with Gllsons sandstone copper although we found It would work In 1892 I wrote a formula for O G Brown of this city Brown sent this formula t to Washington and obtained a patent In my name but was never Introduced to any extent outside of barrooms The present excitement over copper In Emery county and elsewhere prompts me to give a detailed description of the process Yours truly W F CLEGHORN THE SANDSTONE COPPER The ore Is crushed to a desired fineness fine-ness and placed In tanks of any capacity capa-city required A solution of salt water and sulphuric acid is added and made hot by the application of steam or otherwise In about one hour tho solution so-lution Is filtered at a temperature of 180 deg F first through iron shavings or filings which precipitates or converts the copper solution to metal SecondThe solution Is allowed to flow through copper shavings or filings and the silver Is changed to a metal by coming In contact with the copper some copper again going In solution fleanup The copper shavings are washed by water to remove the product of copper The copper shavings should be allowed to remain until a complete substitution is accomplished The copper cop-per goes In solution and silver takes its place probably seven days In an actual mill run as the silver accumulates accumu-lates the precipitation Is more rapid Tho application of apparatus for rapid mechanical handling will maim a financial success of the Immense deposits de-posits of sandstone ores existing In various parts of the Stale The solvent has long been known and the mechanical mechani-cal difficulties attending the handling of solutions and precipitates has to a great measure been overcome by modern mod-ern appliances In the way of rapid filters I fil-ters Precipitation will be hastened by electricity and heat Tanks will be dumped automatically Capital will demonstrate the feasibility of working these sandstones to a profit W F CLEGHORN Salt Lake City January 20 1900 |
