Abstract:Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) and marmatite [(Zn, Fe) S] are associated together most of the time in the raw ores and flotation concentrates. In this work, the interactions between chalcopyrite and marmatite during bioleaching by moderately thermophilic bacteria were investigated by electrochemical measurements and bioleaching experiments. In the initial stage of bioleaching of mixture of chalcopyrite and marmatite, the dissolution of marmatite was preferential, and was significantly accelerated with the addition of c… Show more
