Extraction des Métaux de Valeur des Concentrés de Chalcopyrite et de Chromite par Chloruration Soutenue publiquement le 7 NOVEMBRE 1995, devant la Commission d'Examen
Résumé-Lors de la lixiviation de la chalcopyrite avec des solutions d'acide sulfurique, la vitesse d'extraction du cuivre atteint un maximum à un potentiel rédox donné. Cet article examine notre étude de la détermination du potentiel rédox optimal de lixiviation de la chalcopyrite.
Chalcopyrite $(ce{CuFeS2})$ is the most common copper bearing mineral on earth (Approximately 70% of the world's copper reserves are contained in the mineral chalcopyrite), but also the most stable minerals because of its structural configuration, face-centered tetragonal lattice (Ref.1). At present, there are basically two main methods ...

In the roaster, the copper concentrate (chalcopyrite) is partially oxidized to produce alkaline $(ce{Cu2S})$ and sulphur dioxide $(ce{SO2})$ gas. The chalcopyrite ore is heated strongly with silicon dioxide (silica) and air or oxygen in the furnace or series of furnaces.
To dissolve copper from chalcopyrite, the oxidants applied for chalcopyrite leaching need to have a high potential to oxidize sulfide sulfur from chalcopyrite to elemental sulfur or sulfate.
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 …
Although the values of the electrochemical potential of the tests are very similar, there is a significant difference in the extraction of copper (Figure 2) by different consortia, this contrasts with results reported by Hiroyoshi et al., who notes that the reaction of leaching of chalcopyrite is known to be very sensitive to the redox ...

In this paper, we describe a green solvometallurgical process for the extraction of copper from sulfidic ore minerals, with the emphasis on chalcopyrite. The preferred organic solvent is ethylene glycol with FeCl 3 as the oxidizing agent.
Chalcopyrite is of great economic importance since approximately 70% of global copper reserves are present in this mineral [].Traditionally, the main technology for copper extraction from its ores and concentrates was …
The lattice energy of chalcopyrite is close to 17,000 kJ mol −1, and the standard enthalpy of formation ΔH f and the standard Gibbs free energy of formation ΔG f ° values are −193.6 and −190.6 kJ mol −1, respectively.These ΔH f and ΔG f ° values are in the common range for sulfide minerals and do not explain the recalcitrance and unfavorable kinetics of chalcopyrite …
A conceptual flowsheet is proposed, where chalcopyrite concentrate can be extracted by a leaching–grinding process and copper can be recovered by a solvent extraction–electrowinning circuit. Chalcopyrite is well known as being refractory to conventional leaching approaches at atmospheric pressure.
Copper extraction along with electricity generation from the low-grade chalcopyrite was achieved in the bioleaching process assisted by MFCs. After 197 days bioleaching, 423.9 mg copper was extracted from 200 g ore and the average coulomb production reached 1.75 C/d.

Color: Chalcopyrite typically exhibits a brassy-yellow color, although it can also appear as a tarnished or iridescent surface due to weathering.The color can vary depending on impurities and weathering conditions. Luster: Chalcopyrite has a metallic luster, resembling the luster of polished brass or gold.The reflective, shiny surface is a characteristic feature of …
