The Huoshaoyun zinc–lead deposit, a giant non-sulfide deposit in Xinjiang, is one of the most significant discoveries China and globally recent years. dominated by non-sulfides, with minor occurrences sulfides such as sphalerite, galena, pyrite. minerals include smithsonite, cerussite, anglesite, Fe-oxide. This study focuses on mineralogical characteristics sulfide ores, well trace element Mine...

The feasibility of processing low-grade copper-nickel ores by heap bioleaching was investigated. It found that an iron-oxidizing strain acidophilic microorganisms, Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans, is effective in the leaching sulfide from deposits Russia’s Murmansk region. Sulfide mineralization studied mineral feeds described using methods X-ray phase analysis and optical microscopy. In process ...

The roasting of sulphide ores and concentrates is often the first step in the production of metals or chemicals. In many processes, the production of sulphuric acid is viewed as a by-product, while in some plants production is an important economic factor. Regardless of the purpose, a pyrite roasting plant consists of mainly three plant sections: roasting, gas cleaning and sulphuric acid. With ...

The availability of Te is constrained by the production rate of its main parent compound (copper) and a debate is going on related to the potential supply of Te for very large scale CdTe PV deployment. However, recent investigations point to the existence of Te-rich ores in several places of the world that are likely to allow economic recovery of Te, independently of the production of copper. C...

Agitation leaching is a promising technology in hydrometallurgy for treating copper–cobalt oxide ores. In this work, the behavior of ores containing around 2.3% Cu and 0.3% Co received from Congo was investigated varying particle size, acidity, pulp density, temperature, time, reduction potential. XRD, optical microscopy (OM), ICP-OES methods were used to examine chemical composition, morpholog...
