The cuprous sulphide, chalcocite (Cu--2 S) with a 79.8% Cu content is the richest and most valuable sulphide of copper (compare chalcopyrite, CuFeS 2, 34.5% Cu), but its conductivity has been little investigated. This article aims to contribute to the limited database with some inductive electromagnetic (EM) measurements.

Stratiform sediment-hosted Cu deposits are significant global sources of Cu and other important metals. The Polish Kupferschiefer produces Ag, Au, Pb, Ni, Se, and Re as by-products, whereas Co is one the of most important metals in the stratiform sediment-hosted Cu-Co deposits of the Central African Copperbelt and the Namibian Dolostone Ore Formation …
However, the ore mineralogy is becoming more complex, and the ore grades for processing decrease gradually. Therefore, there is an urgent need for techniques capable of recovering copper from low-grade primary copper deposits and secondary copper resources (electronic and other copper-containing waste materials, scrap copper) [4], [5].
Chalcopyrite ore shows a rough surface, whereas silica is present a flat surface. The concentration of the copper-containing ore was found more in the ore as compared to leach residue. After leaching, the concentration of the ore decreases, and the amount of silica increases in the residue, as shown in Fig. 10. However, the crystal structure ...

1. Introduction. Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) is the most important copper ore, comprising approximately 70% of copper reserves in the world [1,2].In metallurgical applications, chalcopyrite is mainly subjected to pyrometallurgy treatment after concentration by a flotation process [3,4].The interest in bio-hydrometallurgy has increased recently in order to minimize …
In this study, a solvometallurgical process for the extraction of copper from sulfidic ore minerals (chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite and digenite) was developed by using an organic lixiviant ...
The mineral composition of copper ores delivered to the processing plant (producing 65 000 t per day) in the Santo Domingo project (Chile) includes pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite, chalcocite, quartz, carbonates, plagioclases, and aluminosilicate clays.

This study explored the processing of chalcopyrite ore through heap leaching followed by flotation.Crushed and agglomerated chalcopyrite ore was subjected to bacterially-assisted leaching at ambient temperature in columns that ranged in height from 1 m to 5 m. > 50% extraction was obtained after 16 months. Chalcopyrite leaching was affected only by …
Chalcocite forms from the alteration of other minerals, especially other copper sulfides such as Bornite, Covellite, and Chalcopyrite, and may also form pseudomorphs after these minerals. It often forms in association with Chrysocolla, with the Chrysocolla forming as an alteration around the Chalcocite.Chalcocite is named after the Greek word chalcos, which means "copper" in …
In this objective, we compared the copper leaching yield for different configurations with similar chemical conditions (pH = 1.3, E h = 700 mV vs SHE, and T = 42 °C), which brought out the following conclusions: Preliminary processing of the chalcopyrite concentrate in a stirred bead reactor for 3 h resulted in an increase of finer particles.
