Chalcopyrite is essentially unleached under the mild oxidizing conditions of heap leaching (very slow leach kinetics). It can, however, be leached under oxidizing conditions at elevated temperatures or by microbial leaching under low-potential conditions (Gericke, Govender, & Pinches, 2010).This has led to extensive study into leaching of …

Chalcopyrite is a soft mineral that can be scratched by a nail, while pyrite is hard enough that a nail cannot dig into its surface. Unlike pyrite, chalcopyrite also weathers to display an iridescent tarnish. The two minerals also usually occur in different forms. Pyrite is most often found as crystal masses that exhibit obvious flat planes and ...

The effect of agitation for three different agitation speeds is shown in Figure 6. Experiments were run with one-hour attritor-ground chalcopyrite, 0.5% solids, molar ratio Cu++/CuFeS = 1.0, ambient nitrogen atmosphere, and 70°C. Several tests were performed in order to determine the effect of temperature on the reaction rate.

4. Comminution System To achieve the goal of recovering these concentr ates, the raw ore must be reduced to fine size prior to separation. This process is called 'comminution' or 'size reduction'. Generally there are two major objectives for comminution in mineral beneficiation: The first objective of comminution is 'liberation'.
The most obvious physical properties of chalcopyrite are its brassy yellow color, metallic luster, and high specific gravity. These give it a similar appearance to pyrite and gold. Distinguishing these minerals is easy. Gold is soft, has a yellow streak and has a much higher specific gravity. Chalcopyrite is brittle and has a greenish gray streak.
