The aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of copper sulfide ore composed mainly of chalcopyrite (1.21 wt %) and bornite (0.54 wt %) using a pretreatment before leaching. The effect of the pretreatment on copper sulfide dissolution was investigated using different types of leaching. Three sets of experimental tests were performed (flask, reactor and …
Galena is a lead sulfide mineral with a chemical composition of PbS. It is the world's primary ore of lead and is mined from a large number of deposits in many countries. It is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks in medium- to low-temperature hydrothermal veins. In sedimentary rocks it occurs as veins, breccia cements, isolated grains, and ...
Sulfide minerals are the key metal-bearing constituents of many of our most important ore deposit types. There is a wide range of ore deposit types because S is highly mobile in aqueous fluids and magmas. Various sulfide ore deposit types fall under the broad headings of magmatic, magmatic-hydrothermal, and hydrothermal ore deposits.
Many approaches were pursued to solve the "sulfide problem" at Broken Hill before selective flotation was developed. The successful technology involves first crushing the ore, typically to a particle size of about 5 to 50 micrometers, to liberate separate grains of the various valuable minerals and worthless gangue components.Then the particles are …

Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and …
The traditional route for extracting copper from sulfide ores is smelting. Yet there is a growing case for leaching sulfides from lower grade ore bodies and especially for those ore bodies containing …
tion of primary and secondary collectors is often used in foreign processing plants. Flotation reagents used in the processing of copper sulfide and oxide ores and their costs are presented. The combined circuit of flota-tion-hydrometallurgical processing of mixed copper ore at the Udokan deposit is considered. The conclu-
The specific processes taken depend on whether the ore is a sulfide or a laterite. In the case of sulfides, the reaction of oxygen with iron and sulfur in the ore supplies a portion of the heat required for smelting. Oxide ores, on the other hand, do not produce the same reaction heats, making necessary the use of energy from other sources for ...

The most common sulfide crystalling in this manner is galena (PbS), the ore mineral of lead. A type of packing that involves two sulfide ions in each of the octahedral positions in the sodium chloride structure is the pyrite structure. This is a high-symmetry structure characteristic of the iron sulfide, pyrite (FeS 2 O).
Pyrite, the most widespread and abundant of sulphide minerals in the Earth's surficial rocks, commonly constitutes the primary opaque phase in ore deposits. Consequently, an understanding of the behaviour of pyrite and its relationships with coexisting phases during the metamorphism of pyritebearing rocks is vital to the interpretation of their ...
Low grade copper sulfide ore samples. Low grade copper sulfide ores are obtained from a copper mine, Fujian Province, China, which contain 0.04% free copper oxide, 0.06% primary copper sulfide, 0.64% secondary copper sulfide and 0.01% combined copper oxide. The Cu grade is 0.75%, and most copper are found in …
The floatation technique is used for processing small gold particles in sulfide ore having gold quartz veins with comparable floatability and polymetallic sulfides encapsulating gold (Dunne 2005). In some cases, the method of cyanidation is also used after the separation of gold-minerals clusters using floatation. ... The primary concern …
Abstract—Gold and silver are capable of forming stable natural compounds with different elements. For gold 36 minerals are known: 10 in the class "Native metals, intermetallic compounds" and 26 in the class "Sulfides (selenides, tellurides, arsenides, antimonides, bismuthides)." For silver, 194 minerals are registered in the MMA, …
Sulphide ores are a major source of Cu, Ni and precious metals. A basic principle of the extraction processes is to blow air into the molten sulphide in order to oxidise (1) S, …
Sulphide ores were mostly created by (i) the intrusion of molten magma from the mantle into the crust of the earth and (ii) the formation of localized metal-rich …
In this work, we have compared bioleaching and chemical chloride leaching technologies (including sulfuric acid-sodium chloride ore pre-treatment) for a mainly primary copper sulfide ore. This comparative analysis showed first that bioleaching and chemical chloride leaching work at completely different range of redox potential as …
Primary sulfide minerals consist of sulfur and reduced metals. When exposed to oxygen rich-groundwaters, or to the atmosphere at Earth's surface, they easily oxidize or break down in other ways. …

Bacteria such as Acidothiobaccillus ferrooxidans are also helpful for leaching of sulfide ore. Primary copper sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite and bornite are leached slowly, with poor result. The leach solution contains only 1–6 g/L of copper with impurity elements such as iron, aluminum, zinc, calcium, and magnesium; existing, …

This research focuses on the effect of acid curing on primary copper sulphide ore (0.79% Cu) in sulphuric acid–chloride media. The products generated in the pretreatment (agglomerates) and leaching residues were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and reflected light microscopy. The effect of the pretreatment on
Sulfide concentrations were calculated by subtracting S° and SO 4 concentrations from total sulfur.
