Examples of copper deposits that occur as a native metal are found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Keweenaw Peninsula These deposits are formed in rift zones and volcanic vents and can be found as small nuggets or large masses Sulfide ore minerals containing copper can be found in many places around the world including the
The copper sample taken from an operating plant in South Africa contained mainly chalcocite with minor amounts of covellite and chalcopyrite Pyrite was the undesired mineral This ore contained 2% Cu % S and % Fe Copper sulphide minerals are oxidized easily due to their surface reactive nature and their order of oxidation is given
Sulfides are well known for being important ore minerals For example galena is the main source of lead sphalerite is the main source of zinc and chalcopyrite is the main copper ore mineral mined in porphyry deposits like the Bingham mine see chapter 16 The largest sources of nickel antimony molybdenum arsenic and mercury are also
A large portion of the energy consumed in copper concentrators is used to reduce the particle size of the feed by crushing and grinding The cost of metal production could be reduced if low grade particles of cm size were removed prior to further processing Two copper sulfide ore samples 3 × 1 cm from Arizona were analyzed by micro X ray computed
Deep eutectic solvents containing iodine can be used for dissolution of sulfide minerals 28 30 Copper containing sulfidic gold ores have been leached in ionic liquids 31 Different authors have investigated the leaching of copper from the sulfidic copper ore chalcopyrite using ionic liquids 32 36 The addition of polar organic solvents
Here we provide the first demonstration that electrochemistry in Deep Eutectic Solvents can solubilise and directly recover high purity copper from solution from three copper sulfide minerals covellite CuS chalcocite Cu 2 S and chalcopyrite CuFeS 2 Cyclic voltammetry supported by EXAFS identifies the metal speciation in solution
The naturally occurring material exhibits relatively modest thermoelectric properties 53 54 although copper rich mineral samples Cu 5−x Co x FeS 4 offers a rare example of copper substitution in bornite 111 The orthorhombic 4a structure is found throughout the compositional range 0 although binary copper sulfide impurities can be
oxide copper minerals is a function of source rock and host rock mineralogy pyrite and other copper sulfide abundance and distribution fracture density and distribution phreatic and/or vadose zone occurrence and In examples considered in this article the pre oxidation sulfide assemblage protore consists of pyrite and
Cite examples of how copper deposits occur Choose one or more A in carbonate ore minerals B in sulfide ore minerals C as an agglomeration metal D as a native metal Mass movement Choose one A is more likely to happen under wet conditions than under dry conditions B happens only when the slope of a hill gets steeper than the angle of repose
Copper minerals can be broadly classified into sulfide minerals oxide minerals and native copper The most common copper mineral is chalcopyrite a sulfide mineral that contains about 34% copper by weight Other important copper minerals include bornite chalcocite and malachite These minerals can occur in a wide range of geological settings
Abstract In this research flotation of copper lead and zinc minerals from a copper oxide sulfide ore was studied The identification tests showed that the sample is a mixture of quartz chalcopyrite galena cerussite hemimorphite and iron oxide minerals with % CuO % PbO % ZnO and % SiO 2 The experimental design

As ore grades constantly decline more copper tailings which still contain a considerable amount of unrecovered copper are expected to be produced as a byproduct of froth flotation This research reveals the occurrence mechanism of copper minerals in typical copper sulfide tailings using quantitative mineral liberation analysis MLA integrated with scanning
1 Examples of carbonate minerals include calcite dolomite and siderite Sulfides Sulfides are minerals composed of sulfur S combined with metal ions such as iron Fe lead Pb copper Cu and zinc Zn Examples of sulfide minerals
The aim of this study is to apply process mineralogy as a practical tool for further understanding and predicting the flotation kinetics of the copper sulfide minerals The minerals composition and association grain distribution and liberation within the ore samples were analyzed in the feed concentrate and the tailings of the flotation processes with two pulp
Introduction The first report in this recurring series on microbial processes in the minerals industries was published in 2003 Olson et al 2003 followed by an update after 10 years Brierley and Brierley 2013 with bioleaching and biooxidation of sulfide minerals primarily copper in the case of bioleaching and refractory gold ores biooxidation matured to represent
Supergene copper mineralization SCM is produced by the interaction between sulfides and supergene processes and was originally defined by Ransome 1912 as sulfide oxidation and leaching of ore deposits in the weathering environment and any attendant secondary sulfide order to form supergene copper mineralization specific
The role of oxidation reduction processes in the flotation separation of sulfide minerals is an accepted fact with numerous examples such as a copper pyrite Cu Py selection in which pyrite plays the role of the cathode and copper minerals play the role of the anode [1 2 3]; b activation of pyrite by chalcopyrite via Cu ions
The simplest way to make a powder from a mineral sample is to grind the mineral on a small rectangular piece of unglazed ceramic called a streak plate The copper sulfide minerals pyrite top chalcopyrite middle and bornite bottom have very similar greenish black streaks That means you ll have to identify them by other means
Microbial leaching is an economical method for the recovery of metals from low grade mineral ores Two thousand years ago microbial leaching of copper as copper sulfate from sulfide ores and recovery of metallic copper by cementation was known both in Europe and China Fossi 1990 CuSO 4 Fe 0 →Cu 0 FeSO 4

Typical magmatic sulfides are dominated by pyrrhotite and pentlandite with minor chalcopyrite and the bulk atomic Cu/Fe ratio of these sulfides is typically less than unity However there are rare magmatic sulfide occurrences that are dominated by Cu rich sulfides bornite digenite and chalcopyrite sometimes coexisting with metallic Cu with atomic
