2006.9.1 The primary sulfide minerals of copper have been difficult to leach for the purpose of direct copper extraction. In particular, chalcopyrite has been observed to undergo a type of “passivation” under a variety of oxidative leaching conditions. Over the last 10–15 years, a variety of biological and chemical leaching processes have emerged for

2021.8.26 The iron in the chalcopyrite ends up converted into an iron (II) silicate slag which is removed. Most of the sulfur in the chalcopyrite turns to sulfur dioxide gas. This is used to make sulfuric acid via the contact process (copper extraction and purification). Overall equations for these series of steps are: 2CuFeSX2 + 2SiOX2 + 4OX2 CuX2S ...

2020.7.9 Metal recycling is drawing high interest in the context declining natural resources and the future circular economy. Smelter dust from copper extraction plants contains copper (Cu), which is both an economic loss and a pollution issue. There is therefore a need for techniques to recover Cu from ultrafine dust. Here we tested

2023.4.4 Modern smelters are designed to collect at least 90 percent of the sulfur in the feedstock. These steps result in the following reaction: 2 CuFeS2 + 2 SiO2 + 4O2 → Cu2S + 2 FeSiO3 + 3SO2. Copper extracted by this method is combined with slag to create a material known as Matte Copper due to its matte look.
