The samples were thermally pretreated within Received in revised form 12 July 2010 temperature range of 300–900 ◦ C during 15, 30 and 60 min. Two methods of the thermal pretreatment Accepted 27 July 2010 ◦ were studied: burning and pyrolysis. The leaching solution of 1 M HCl at 80 C was used. The original as Available online 3 August 2010 well as thermally pretreated samples were leached. The weight losses within the range from 5 to 35% were achieved. The increase of burning temperature causes the copper extraction into solution up to Keywords: 98%, while copper extraction into solution from non-bu
