In the leaching process of the material, the difference in the direction of movement of the leached material and the leaching reagent can be divided into three leaching processes.

(1) downstream leaching

The direction of flow of the immersed material and the leaching reagent is the same (Fig. 7-2). The leaching solution with higher content of the target component can be obtained by downstream leaching. The leaching reagent consumption is lower, but the leaching speed is slower, and the leaching time is longer. Higher leaching rate.

(2) cross-flow leaching

The immersed material is separately leached by several new leaching reagents. The leachate obtained by each leaching is uniformly sent to the subsequent operation (Fig. 7-3). The leaching rate of the cross-flow leaching is faster. The leaching time is shorter and the leaching string is higher. However, the volume of the leachate is large. The concentration of the remaining reagent in the leachate is high, so the reagent consumption is large, and the content of the target component in the leachate is low.

(3) Countercurrent leaching

The direction of movement of the immersion material and the leaching reagent is reversed, that is, the depleted material is contacted with the new leaching solution after several leaching, and the original immersed material is contacted with the leaching solution (Fig. 7-3). Countercurrent leaching can obtain a leachate with a higher content of the target component, and the remaining reagent in the leachate can be fully utilized. Therefore, the leaching agent consumes less, but the leaching speed is lower than the cross-flow rate, and more leaching stages are required to obtain a higher leaching rate.

Countercurrent leaching diagram

The percolation tank can be immersed in a downstream, cross-flow or counter-current leaching process; the heap leaching and local leaching generally adopt a downstream circulation leaching process, and the continuous agitation leaching generally adopts a downstream leaching process. If cross-flow or countercurrent leaching is to be used, solid-liquid separation operations should be added between the stages. The agitation leaching of the intermittent operation is generally a downstream leaching, but a cross-flow or counter-current leaching process can also be used. It is only necessary to perform solid-liquid separation after each leaching, and the operation is complicated. There are fewer applications in production. The leaching leaching can directly obtain the clarified leachate, and the agitated leached pulp must be separated by solid-liquid separation to obtain a clarified leachate for subsequent processing or a thin ore slurry containing a small amount of ore.
