Process mineralogy is an integral part of mineral processing especially in the copper, gold, or silver mining industries where the process of beneficiation determines the difference between economic and uneconomic ventures. ... The chalcocite, chalcopyrite, and bornite pure minerals were obtained from Cornwall (England), Falun (Sweden), and ...
Copper concentrates are widely used in smelting operations worldwide and typically consist of chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) as the primary mineral, with chalcocite (Cu 2 S) and bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4) as secondary copper-bearing minerals.However, these concentrates often contain hazardous impurities, such as the fluorine ion, which can result in various complications during …
During annealing, bdss first breaks down into bornite and digenite via solid-state exsolution. The bornite-digenite assemblage then exsolves chalcopyrite in local patches. ... of sulfide minerals and their textural evolution under hydrothermal conditions is a key issue in economic geology and mineral processing. This is especially important ...

The sequence of mineral formation, or paragenesis, in bornite-bearing deposits provides insights into the evolving conditions during the mineralization process. Early Stage : In the early stages of hydrothermal mineralization, high-temperature minerals such as chalcopyrite, pyrite, and magnetite precipitate from the hot fluids.
The literature on sulfide minerals is extensive, with a number of overview textbooks and monographs. Comprehensive reviews can be found in Ribbe (), Vaughan and Craig (), and, most recently, in Vaughan ().The present article provides a brief overview of the compositions and crystal structures of the major sulfide minerals, aspects of their chemistries (bulk and surface) …
The valuable metals copper and zinc were successfully recovered from a water-quenched lead smelting slag containing zinc in Gansu Province. This study focuses on the application of the direct reduction roasting-flotation process for extracting these metals from the slag phase. To comprehend the recovery principle of copper and zinc minerals in the slag …
Beneficiation of sulphide ores by flotation is ascribed to the natural electrochemical activity associated with sulphide minerals. Flotation is an electrochemical process comprising many interdependent conditions that are difficult to decouple in terms of controlling flotation performance. The extent of electrochemical activity is mineral dependent and can be …
