Lixiviation process (using a tank)
Hola Luiroi,
Ojalá te sirva esta información:
"Lixiviation
A process of removing silver from refractory ores that involved the roasting and chlorination of the ore, followed by leaching with water, and finally leaching with sodium hydrosulphite and cuprous sodium hyposulphite to precipitate the final product."
Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)

leaching in heaps or tanks
or heap or tank leaching
heap is one of the translations given in dictionaries for pila.
Leaching may be performed in tanks, heaps or in situ. In situ leaching is practiced on low grade ores; (after
crushing and grinding) high grade ores are typically leached in tanks. Heap leaching is also applicable to low
grade ores; however, the available literature indicates that the application of this technique to uranium ores is
limited and consequently it will not be discussed in detail. Depending on the grade of the ore, grain size
(amount of grinding), and the method used, the leach times vary. Leaching in tanks may take from four to 24
hours while heap leaching may be measured in days or weeks (Twidwell et al., 1983).
