A review of the structure, and fundamental mechanisms and kinetics of the leaching of chalcopyrite.

TLDR
There is general agreement in the literature that chalcopyrite leaching is significantly affected by solution redox potential with an optimum E(h) range suggesting the participation of leach steps that involve both oxidation and reduction.

Chalcopyrite dissolution: Scanning photoelectron microscopy examination of the evolution of sulfur species with and without added iron or pyrite

TL;DR: In this article, a synchrotron scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM) was employed to examine freshly fractured and partially dissolved chalcopyrite surfaces (pH 1.0 HClO 4 solution, redox potential 650 mV relative to a standard hydrogen electrode, 75 mV).
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights into the influence of redox potential on chalcopyrite leaching behaviour

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of solution redox potential on leaching of a pure and a pyritic chalcopyrite concentrate was investigated using concentrates with fresh and aged surfaces.

Bioleaching of chalcopyrite by Acidianus manzaensis under different constant pH

TL;DR: In this paper, the bio-leaching of pure chalcopyrite by thermophilic Archaea strain Acidianus manzaensis YN-25 under different constant pH was analyzed by synchrotron radiation based X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD) and S K-edge Xray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy.

A brief overview on the dissolution mechanisms of sulfide minerals in acidic sulfate environments at low temperatures: Emphasis on electrochemical cyclic voltammetry analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the research into the dissolution mechanisms of several sulfide minerals, predominantly under bioleaching conditions, and the effects on the solid phase, including decomposition products and precipitates formed during the degradation processes, are discussed.

Comparative study of S, Fe and Cu speciation transformation during chalcopyrite bioleaching by mixed mesophiles and mixed thermophiles

TL;DR: In this article, the results showed that the chalcopyrite dissolution could be significantly promoted by these mixed cultures, and the promotion effects were enhanced with the increase of bioleaching temperature.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple

TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.

Photoelectron spectroscopy : principles and applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the three low-index faces of a Face-Centered Cubic (fcc) Crystal Face were modeled as 3D cubic faces, and a table of binding energies was presented.
