The aim of this paper is to build on these studies and relate the recovery of mineral in a long term ferric leach of a low-grade, low-porosity chalcopyrite ore sample under unsaturated flow conditions to both the location of the mineral grains within the ore particles as well as their position within the column, thereby interrogating the ...

of chalcopyrite were optimized by varying the temperature (22, 60 and 90 °C), the concentration of FeCl 3 (0.1–1 mol L −1) and the solid-to-liquid ratio (30–150 g L−1). The e ffect of di erent oxidizing agents was studied by mixing 50 mg of chalcopyrite with 1 mL of EG containing 0.5 mol L−1 of oxidizing agent at 60 °C.
Comminution is an essential segment during the process of efficient utilization of mineral resources, which provides qualified raw materials for subsequent separation operations [Chen, 1989, Duan, 2012].The raw ore exploited from the mining site for the mineral processing plant is a loose particle group with a maximum particle size of 1500 ∼ 1000 mm (open-pit …
Chalcopyrite is the most important copper ore, and it is the primary source of many popular secondary copper minerals. It can occur in a variety of environments and forms, from hydrothermal veins to sedimentary layers. Nice chalcopyrite crystals are …
For the effective comminution and subsequent enrichment of mineral ores, comprehensive knowledge of their mineralogical and physical properties is required.

Chalcopyrite is well known as being refractory to conventional leaching approaches at atmospheric pressure. The current study investigated a hybrid approach using aqueous ammonia as a pH modifier for glycine-based lixiviant systems to leach copper from chalcopyrite while maintaining surface refreshment using ceramic media at room temperature. …
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 …

Very coarse ... Copper is present as chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite are the main sulphide gangue mineral. Other significant ...
Chalcopyrite's crystallisation field extends to areas with a slight sulfur deficit. To determine the stability range of chalcopyrite with respect to sulfur content, all samples were prepared with an equimolar Cu: Fe ratio and varied metal: sulfur ratio. Sample names are referring to the sulfur content in at% used in the reactant mixture.
In Eq. (), dE is the specific energy for grinding (kwh/t), k is the grinding constant, and dx/x n is the variations of particle size during grinding.The main missing factor in most comminution ...
Intensively fractured pyrite surrounded by smaller irregular pyrite fragments may indicate mechanical comminution by cataclastic flow, whereas elongated blebs and patches of chalcopyrite, which partly form overgrowths on pyrite and magnetite, suggest that chalcopyrite deformed mainly by solution–precipitation creep (Cox, 1987).

Mineral liberation and size reduction are the most critical steps before mineral separation. Several investigations showed that mineral liberation degree could be affected by ore texture and/or ...
global electrical energy is consumed through comminution, while Ballantyne and Pow-ell [10] have estimated that up to 1.3% of Australia's electrical energy is consumed through comminution of gold and copper ores alone. Hence, with the current drive towards net-zero emissions, there are major incentives to reduce the extent of the comminution ...

The formation of a passive layer during the hydrometallurgical leaching of copper from chalcopyrite leads to a relatively low copper recovery owing to the halting of the leaching efficiency. Thus, the copper recovery during chalcopyrite leaching needs to be promoted and the formation of passive layers on the mineral surface must be reduced. Organic solvents and …
