This article describes an efficient new method of leaching metals from sulfide concentrates and intermediate beneficiation products with the use of ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and ions of tetravalent iron in a sulfuric-acid solution at atmospheric pressure. Use of the method alleviates the harmful environmental effects of such processing.
