Chalcopyrite (/ ˌ k æ l k ə ˈ p aɪ r aɪ t,-k oʊ-/ KAL-ko-PY-ryt) is a copper iron sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the tetragonal system. It has the chemical formula CuFeS 2.It has a brassy to golden yellow color and a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale.Its streak is diagnostic as green tinged black.
leaching of chalcopyrite and iron concentration in the final pregnant solution was found to be less than 20 mg/L. Copper recovery by sulfide precipitation from theleach solution as pure covelite was up to 99.1% at a Cu:S2 molar ratio of 1:1. Solvent extraction (SX) experiments with LIX 84-I
Aug 01, 2020· Reductants common in metallurgical extraction, carbon or hydrogen, are not suitable to reduce sulfide ores because the stability of H 2 S and CS 2 are less than that of the sulfides. Instead, oxygen can be used as a selective reactant to separate iron. Upon melting, chalcopyrite forms a matte containing Cu 2 S and FeS.
May 01, 2015· The optimal conditions were determined to be an ammonium persulfate concentration of 210 g/L, a leaching temperature of 388 K, and a reactor fullness ratio of 0.43, resulting in 57.04% copper extraction and 14.71% iron extraction. X-ray analysis of leaching residue showed that the chalcopyrite phase partially converted to covellite and geerite.
Chalcopyrite is one of the most widely used copper baring minerals in the world and can be found in low-grade ores. The common technique for copper extraction from chalcopyrite ores is the pyrometallurgical extraction route consisting of roasting, melting,
vent extraction rather than cementation to avoid plugging of the ore bed with precipitated iron salts, and (4) inject ing gaseous sulfur dioxide to dissolve and remove precipitated iron salts and provide better solution and air flow through the ore (16-19). Each of these techniques resulted in a higher partial
About 3/4 th of Copper (Cu) produced in the world has come from Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2), but it is the lowest standard ore of Copper. The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulphide ores such as chalcopyrite are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulphate ores.

At 28 °C, dissolution of chalcopyrite was rapid on days 8–24, during which the ORP increased from 340–480 mV. This difference was mainly due to that at 6 °C, ferric iron oxidized chalcopyrite and regenerated ferrous iron slower than at 28 °C and that ferric iron scarcely formed precipitate at low temperature (see results of SEM and XRD).
Jan 01, 2012· The iron in the chalcopyrite ends up converted into an iron (II) silicate slag which is removed. Most of the sulfur in the chalcopyrite turns to sulfur dioxide gas. This is used to make sulfuric acid via the contact process (copper extraction and purification).
copper and iron dissolution (bioleaching) from chalcopyrite at 30 and 40 C were compared (Fig. 4a). Both copper and iron dissolution capability was reduced at 40 C when compared to that at 30 C, but this reduction was much more pronounced for copper than for iron. Indeed copper extraction reduced

greater extraction of copper since day 10 until the end, was composed by At. ferrooxidans with. At. thiooxidans. This is in line with the reported by Norris et al. (2000), who notes that for the dissolution of chalcopyrite usually requires iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. However, this does not apply by combining the iron oxidizing bacteria L.
It is beneficial for the extractant LIX 984N to ionize at a higher pH value. It can promote the extraction reaction of copper and enhance the recovery efficiency of copper. For the case of cobalt and iron, their recovery are both lower than 4% when the pH is lower than 1.25. This is helpful for the separation of copper from cobalt and iron.

In the case of copper, it is worth extracting when there is about 2 kg of copper per 1,000 kg of ore (0.2%). Copper minerals are found in over one hundred varieties, although only a few have been worked for copper on a large scale. The most abundant ores are chalcopyrite and bornite, which contain both copper and iron sulphides.
The best selective recovery of copper (99 at%) from chalcopyrite was obtained with a mixed DES of 20 wt% choline chloride-oxalic acid and 80 wt% choline chloride-ethylene glycol. This demonstrates how design of the Deep Eutectic Solvents can enable increased selectivity of copper over iron in the electrowinning stage by changing solute

Uses of Chalcopyrite. The only important use of chalcopyrite is as an ore of copper, but this single use should not be understated. Chalcopyrite has been the primary ore of copper since smelting began over five thousand years ago. Some chalcopyrite ores contain significant amounts of zinc substituting for iron.
Oct 06, 2014· sources of iron, copper aluminum and extraction of iron copper and aluminum. There are following steps for the Hydrometallurgical extraction of copper from Chalcopyrite: 1. CONCENTRATION Crushed ore is suspended in water containing pine oil. The pine oil binds to the copper compounds, but not to the unwanted rocky material.
1 Mineral Extraction . Common ores • Usually found in combination with sulphur, iron, carbon and oxygen. Oxide copper minerals malachite azurite chrysocolla. Sulfide copper minerals bornite chalcocite chalcopyrite . Occurrence • Copper is distributed in many parts of the world • Copper minerals are divided up into three groups
Apart from containing copper, the ores also contain other elements like iron, zinc and sulphur. For example Chalcopyrite contains 26% copper, 25.9% iron, 20.5% zinc and 33% sulphur. Mechanism of Copper Leaching: During the oxidation of Chalcopyrite the following reaction occurs: 2CuFeS 2 + 8 ½ O 2 + H 2 SO 4 → 2 CuSO 4 + Fe 2 (SO 4) 3
Copper is the most noble among the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several countries. Ores of copper include chalcopyrite,cuprite,copper glance and malachite .However 80% of the world copper production comes from the ore chalcopyrite . the extraction of copper from chalcopyrite involves partial roasting,removal of ironand self-reduction. <br> In self-reduction
Stage 3: Roasting At this stage of the process, the chemical reactions begin. They convert the copper minerals into copper metal. We can illustrate the types of process using the example of chalcopyrite CuFeS 2.From the formula, it is clear that iron and sulfur have to be removed in order to produce copper.
Oct 02, 2017· About 80% of the worlds’ reserves for platinum group metals (PGMs) are in South Africa’s Bushveld Igneous Complex. Processing of PGM involves comminution, flotation, smelting, converting, base metals refinery and precious metals refinery. Due to increasing chrome content in the feed and the challenges associated with operating high chrome feed, alternative routes to smelting of PGM are
