LEACHING THE COPPER ORE 2020-1-13 · 4.Slowly pour 500 mL of 0.01 M sulphuric acid into the top of the tubing. Observe the dilute acid moving through the ore, leaching the copper from the ore as soluble copper sulphate. The entire leaching process will take 10 minutes before your first leach solution has collected in the beaker below the ore.
