TLDR
A packed-bed electrochemical reactor (PBER) was developed and tested to decouple and quantify the individual contributions of passivation phenomena (PP) and galvanic interactions (GI) on precious metal (gold and silver, PM) leaching rates during the cyanidation of sulfide-rich ores as mentioned in this paper.

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

TL;DR: 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.

Presentation on mechanisms and applications of chalcopyrite and pyrite bioleaching in biohydrometallurgy – a presentation

TL;DR: The differences of mechanisms of the bioleaching and biooxidation on metal sulfides can be more clearly and explicitly understood by summarizing and comparing the two classic minerals, chalcopyrite and pyrite.

Collector attachment to lead-activated sphalerite – Experiments and DFT study on pH and solvent effects

TL;DR: In this article, the interactions of diisobutyl dithiophosphinate with bare (unactivated) and lead-activated sphalerite were studied both experimentally and through DFT simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of galvanic interaction between galena and pyrite on their flotation in the presence of butyl xanthate

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of galvanic interaction between pyrite and galena on their flotation and electrochemical characters were studied by electrochemical, adsorption, flotation, and FTIR techniques, respectively.

Aqueous Solubilities, Solubility Products and Standard Oxidation‐Reduction Potentials of the Metal Sulfides

TL;DR: In this article, thermodynamic data, incorporating a new free energy of formation for aqueous S2− of 111 (± 2) kJ/mol at 25°C, indicate that solubility products of the insoluble metal sulfide salts are several orders of magnitude smaller than previously considered.

The cyanide leaching of gold in solutions containing sulfide

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of sulfide and cyanide concentrations on the leaching reaction were investigated, and it was shown that the sulfur formed is chemically attacked by cyanide, resulting in higher leach rates at higher cyanide concentration.
