Even at this grind microscopic examination shows inclusions of chalcopyrite in sphalerite grains. Zinc sulphate and cyanide are added to the regrind mill to effectively depress the sphalerite. Xanthate Z-11 or reagent Z-200 is added to the conditioner to promote the chalcopyrite and float it in the "Sub-A" circuit as shown.

The nature of tennantite (Cu12As4S13), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) and sphalerite (ZnS) particles' mixture dissolution in nitric acid (HNO3) media was investigated in this study.
In the copper industry, existing heap leaching/SX/EW operations are focused on copper recovery from copper oxides and secondary sulfide ores. However, chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂) is the most abundant copper mineral, representing 70% of the known global copper reserve (Schlesinger et al., 2011).Copper extraction from chalcopyrite has been hindered due to its …

The elemental distribution calculated from survey spectra is presented as elemental ratios with respect to copper in Table 1. The dominant species in most cases are ...
Chalcopyrite (or copper pyrite), looks like, and is easily confused with Pyrite, FeS2. Chalcopyrite is one of the minerals refered to as "Fool's Gold" because of its bright golden color. But real gold is a more buttery yellow and is ductile and malleable. As an ore od copper, the yield of chalcopyrite is rather low in terms of atoms per ...
Sulfide oxidation mechanisms (adapted from Aghazadeh et al. []).The Eh–pH diagram shows the area where chalcopyrite exhibits self-induced floatability, which is precisely the region with metastable elemental sulfur (a hydrophobic species).When the conditions are above the upper limit, hydrophilic species such as thiosulfate and metal hydroxides form, and flotation ceases.
However, as chalcopyrite has a heterovalent nature, it can replace sphalerite even at lower temperatures. Imalia sphalerite samples had a low amount of Fe ranging from 0.6 to 2.3 mol FeS%, less ...

The paper presents the existing knowledge of the chalcopyrite leaching procedure and phenomena that accompany chalcopyrite oxidation in acidic sulfate and chloride solutions.
Chalcopyrite has a chemical composition of CuFeS2, which indicates that it is composed of copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and sulfur (S) atoms. It is a sulfide mineral, with copper and iron being the main cations and sulfur as the anion. Crystal Structure: Chalcopyrite has a unique crystal structure that belongs to the tetragon…
Chalcopyrite Group. Chalcopyrite-Eskebornite Series. A major ore of copper. Common in sulfide veins and disseminated in igneous rocks. Weathering may lead to the formation of malachite, azurite, brochantite, langite and numerous other secondary copper minerals. A Zn-rich variety is known from Atlantis II Deep (see zincian chalcopyrite).Also, the Mid-Atlantic-ridge isocubanite …

The optimal conditions for synthesizing a pure chalcopyrite CuFeS2 phase were thoroughly investigated through the combination of mechanical alloying (MA) and hot pressing (HP) processes. The MA process was performed at a rotational speed of 350 rpm for durations ranging from 6 to 24 h under an Ar atmosphere, ensuring proper mixing and alloying of the …
Introduction. Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) is the most abundant copper containing mineral worldwide. 1 Hydrometallurgical copper winning processes are traditionally limited to oxidic ores due to their solubility in sulfuric acid, whilst sulfidic minerals such as chalcopyrite are typically processed with pyrometallurgical methods. 2 Due to the ongoing depletion of high …

For chalcopyrite, with the increase in solution pH, the Zeta potential of chalcopyrite progressively decreases, and the isoelectric point (IEP) of bare chalcopyrite is around 3.5. Upon the addition of HDP, at a pH range of 3 to 5, the Zeta potential of the chalcopyrite surface remains largely unchanged, with only a slight decrease of 1–2 mV ...

Enhanced recoveries of gold-bearing minerals, namely pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite, are essential to meet the ever-increasing demand for the precious metal. Since flotation is the 1st step in the recovery of these minerals, a detailed understanding of their surface structure as well as the interaction of the collector molecules with these surfaces is essential to …
