A pre-treatment method for upgrading gold from a polymetallic gold-zinc-lead ore by flotation was studied. X-ray diffraction analysis of the sulfide showed that quartz, calcite, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena are main constituents ore. The composition contained 6.49 ppm Au, 3.48% Zn, 1.25% Pb, 17.98% Fe, 20.36% S. Due to complexity ore, recovery is generally low. objective this study develop pr...

Based on the JK Drop Weight test and principle of selective crushing, a multicomponent complex ore with its component minerals, i.e., pyrrhotite, sphalerite, quartz, was used to explore impact crushing characteristics relationship between minerals. Results show that order resistance is quartz > pyrrhotite sphalerite. The particle-size-distribution characteristic curve products always “sandwi...

Ambient S annealing was adopted to regulate the crystallinity of a ZnS microsphere, which resulted in a significant improvement in the photocatalytic hydrogen production activity (PHPA). Moreover, with S ambient treatment, wurtzite ZnS showed better PHPA than sphalerite ZnS, possibly because the inter-polar electric field of the wurtzite phase could promote the separation of photo-excited elect...

Aguilarite, Ag4SeS, occurs in a hydrothermal vein deposit associated with sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, and native silver. Physical and chemical data agree with descriptions from Guanajuato (type locality). Differential thermal analysis of synthetic material indicates an inversion temperature of i22• T ~ The mineral crystallized late in the paragenetic sequence, probably slightly above 2oo ~

Abstract The Herberton Mineral Field in Northeast Australia hosts world class magmatic-hydrothermal Sn–W polymetallic deposits that are enriched In. Baal Gammon and Isabel from the contains early tin, as cassiterite, overprinted by sulfide mineralization chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, stannite. We investigated distribution of In ores these two deposits, calculated temperature for...

In the present work, the extraction of zinc from a sphalerite concentrate using sodium nitrate as an oxidant in a sulfuric acid solution was investigated. The effective parameters such as the temperature, sulfuric acid and sodium nitrite concentrations, stirring speed, particle size, and solid/liquid (S/L) ratio were analyzed. The dissolution rate increased with increase in the sulfuric acid an...
