    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for leaching a material comprising copper in a zero oxidation state, wherein the method comprises contacting the material with an acidic aqueous solution having a pH less than 6 to form a leaching mixture, and oxidizing the copper with an oxidizing agent of formula LipMqM′rOs. M comprises one or more metals chosen from nickel, manganese, and cobalt, M′ comprises one or more metals chosen from Mg, Ca, Ba, Al, Ti, Zr, Zn, Fe, V, Mo, and W; p ranges from 1 to 1.4; q ranges from 0.6 to 2; r ranges from 0 to 1; s ranges from 2 to 4; and a total amount of copper present in the material before leaching in moles divided by a total amount of the oxidizing agent in moles, mols(Cu)/moIs(OA), ranges from n(eM)/8 to 2 n(eM); n(eM)_=2(s-q)-p-r⋅oxm′ and OxM′ is the average oxidation number of M′ determined by calculating the molar average of the most stable oxidation number for each metal, as an oxide, comprised by M′.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for leaching a material comprising one or more metals in a zero oxidation state and one or more chosen from metal oxides, metal hydroxides, and combinations thereof, wherein the method comprises contacting the material with an oxidizing acidic aqueous solution having a pH less than 6, and subsequently reducing the one or more chosen from metal oxides, metal hydroxides, and combinations thereof with a reducing agent. Also disclosed are methods comprising leaching a material to obtain an aqueous solution comprising metal ions, and separating the metal ions to obtain at least one essentially pure metal ion solution and/or at least one essentially pure solid metal ion salt. Further disclosed are methods comprising mechanically comminuting a material to obtain a black mass, and leaching the black mass.
