Hi We are planning a VAT leaching for HMS rejects of copper oxide ore. We are stuck at design and would value inputs. We are planning for a 5000 tons holding capacity for the VAT and feed grade is 1% copper. Size of feed 100% passing 20 mm. Would there be any channeling effect in the VAT as we are planing to feed acid at the bottom at one point.
