Аннотация

В статье представлен аналитический обзор современного состояния технологии кучного выщелачивания, жидкостной экстракции и электролиза (L-SX-EW) в контексте мировой и отечественной медной промышленности. Проанализирована минерально-сырьевая база Республики Казахстан, включая крупные месторождения Восточного и Центрального Казахстана. Уделено внимание схемам экстракции, влиянию минералогического состава, а также технологическим вызовам при переработке окисленных и смешанных медных руд. Освещена историческая роль института «ВНИИцветмет» в становлении гидрометаллургии региона. Работа систематизирует данные о текущих технологических схемах и факторах эффективности процесса L-SX-EW, подтверждая его значимость для поддержания конкурентоспособности медной отрасли Казахстана.
