In polymetalic deposits of the copper ore there is also contained lead, which during flotation process is concentrated together with copper in the froth product. In pyrometallurgical processing of the copper concentrates it is a requirement that the lead contents should not exceed 1%, while the contents of this undesired component (lead) are often even above 2%. The carried out studies aimed at obtaining maximum recovery of lead, from the copper concentrates by hydrometallurgical method, at as low as possible energy consumption even at the expense of the process time prolongation. It was found that the lead contents in the concentrate could be lowered by the hydrometallurgical method applied even to a value of 0.13% Pb. However, a level of 0.8—0.6% Pb contents was found to be rational and possible to be reached during twenty-four hours processing. A characteristics of metal contents in acetate leaching solutions was performed and a rational way of utilization of their extractive capacity was evaluated.
