| 11. | This process, called leaching, increases pore space in the rock.
|
| 12. | Other interactions that induce leaching are electrostatic and ionic interactions.
|
| 13. | Locations that have high rainfall levels become acidic through leaching.
|
| 14. | Leaching of soils during periods of heavy rainfall depletes nutrients.
|
| 15. | Normally, the ore is crushed and agglomerated prior to heap leaching.
|
| 16. | As leaching progresses, the salts and sodium ions are translocated downward.
|
| 17. | Resalinization may occur and reverse the process associated with leaching.
|
| 18. | Leaching reagents are added to the tanks to achieve the leaching reaction.
|
| 19. | Leaching reagents are added to the tanks to achieve the leaching reaction.
|
| 20. | Some of it will evaporate into the air where it will leaching.
