list five steps invovled in the refining of copper from

 · The ore is pulverized in a hammer mill, run through a flotation to separate the useful mineral from the dross, then roasted to produce oxide, reduced with carbon, and finally purified electrolytically. The crud that drops to the bottom of the electrolysis tank often contains useful amounts of other , such as gold or silver

Chalcopyrite :: ChemViews Magazine :: ChemistryViews

 · In 1546, Georg Agricola named this brass shiny mineral Kupferkies gravel.The name , which is now common in mineralogy, Greek chalkos = , pyros = fire was introduced by Henckel in 1725. The mineral has a tetragonal crystal structure at the space group I42d and the composition CuFeS 2.The structure can be derived from the sphalerite α-ZnS, by doubling

Improving of copper extraction from chalcopyrite by using

The addition of NaCl in the ammonium persulfate-APS as an oxidant leaching was investigated. APS has some advantages compared with conventional oxidants and its standard redox potential E° is 2.0 V. Effect of six parameters such as NaCl concentration, APS concentration, temperature, time, liquid–solid ration L/S, and stirring speed on the leaching behavior was studied

Method of leaching of includes the processing of the leach solution of sulphate of iron III in the presence of dilute sulfuric acid in the absence of silver as a catalyst while maintaining the surface potential of in the range 350-450 mV

Why the Extraction of Copper from Chalcopyrite is so

About 3/4 th of Cu produced in the world has come from CuFeS 2, but it is the lowest standard ore of The method used to from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulphide ores such as are converted to by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulphate ores

The leaching and passivation of chalcopyrite in acid

Sulfate-based leaching processes for CuFeSa are attractive because of their inherent simplicity. Unfortunately, high extractions are not attainable in a reasonable residence time unless the leaching temperature exceeds 200°C oxygen pressure leaching or is "activated" by a pretreatment method prior to leaching. In the present work, the oxygen pressure
