Leachingin
Leaching is a process widely used in various industries, including mining, agriculture, and chemical engineering, to extract substances from a solid material by dissolving them in a liquid solvent. This process is particularly common in the mining industry for the extraction of valuable metals from ores. The solvent, often water or an acidic solution, percolates through the solid material, dissolving the desired components and leaving behind the insoluble residue.
In mining, leaching is frequently employed to extract metals such as gold, silver, copper, and uranium. The
Agricultural leaching refers to the process where water moves through soil, dissolving and carrying away nutrients,
The efficiency of the leaching process depends on several factors, including the solubility of the target substance,
