Chalcopyrite is the resource with highest amount of Cu content representing around 70–80% known reserves in world. However, chalcopyrite like other copper sulfides, usually found deposits grades 0.4–0.5% copper. The exploitation these using traditional flotation methods followed by pyrometallurgical treatment concentrate at limit economic viability. Hydrometallurgical route would be more suitab...

Fe isotopes have been applied to the petrogenesis of ore deposits. However, behavior iron in mineralization porphyry-skarn deposits is still poorly understood. In this study, we report mineral separations (magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite) from two different skarn deposits, i.e., Tonglvshan Cu-Fe deposit developed an oxidized hydrothermal system Anqing Cu a reduced system. both ca...

the muteh gold deposit (ne of golpaygan) in the central part of intrusive-metamorphic belt of sanandaj-sirjan zone comprises nw-se trending gold-quartz vein occurred in metamorphic complex. gold mineralization is associated with quartz veins that formed during regional deformation across the mylonitic zones in metamorphic rocks of predominantly meta-volcanic, gneiss and schist. the sulfidation ...

Photovoltaics are an important power source for both off-grid terrestrial and extraterrestrial use. Thin film polycrystalline materials have been studied extensively for solar cell applications partially because their polycrystalline nature allows their formation on many different types of substrates including glass, metal foil, and lightweight flexible polymer substrates. For example, monolith...

A simplified Cu(In,Ga)(S, Se)2/Zn(O, S)/ZnO:Al stack for chalcopyrite thin-film solar cells is proposed. In this stack the Zn(O, S) layer combines the roles of the traditional CdS buffer and undoped ZnO layers. It will be shown that Zn(O, S) films can be sputtered in argon atmosphere from a single mixed target without substrate heating. The photovoltaic performance of the simplified stack match...

Colloidal quantum dot white light-emitting diode has received much attention for ambient lighting, photonics and display. Efficient colour toning is demonstrated by hybridising Perovskite Chalcopyrite as a single electroluminescence layer.
