“…MnSÀZnSÀFeS solid solution: members of that solution co-occur with other sulfides in the A-, C 1 -and D-type slags. Their composition (Table 7) corresponds approximately to wurtzite/ rudashevskyite (Fe 0.61 Zn 0.35 Mn 0.04 Cu 0.01 ; Britvin et al, 2008) enriched in Pb (up to 6.05 wt.%), Cu (1.56 wt.%) and Ag (up to 0.19 wt.%).…”

Composition and element mobilization in pyrometallurgical slags from the Orzeł Biały smelting plant in the Bytom–Piekary Śląskie area, Poland

Wastes accumulated at Piekary Śląskie, Poland, are the result of 150 years of continuous working of the Orzeł Biały smelting plant. Slags are composed of: oxides (spinel, hematite, zincite); silicates and aluminosilicates (olivine, monticellite–kirschteinite, titanite, merwinite, pyroxene, melilite, feldspars: plagioclases and plumbean K-feldspar, nepheline, kalsilite, leucite); sulfides (pyrrhotite, rudashevskyite, galena), metallic phases (pure iron and iron–arsenic mixture) and secondary phases (gypsum, rapidcreekite, apatite). Interstices between the crystalline phases are filled by glass, concentrating toxic and potentially harmful elements, e.g. up to 53.22 wt.% PbO. The sequence of crystallization of primary phases depended on the local variability of oxygen fugacity and degree of calcination, while the texture type resulted from the cooling time and partial pressure of volatiles. Suggested crystallization temperatures are in the range of 1200–1500°C. Bulk chemical analyses show that the slags are composed mainly of SiO2, Al2O3,Fe2O3, MgO and CaO. Among the potentially harmful elements, Zn is the most common, reaching up to 5.93 wt.%, Pb is present in concentrations up to 3.9 wt.% and As in weathered samples exceeds 1 wt.%. Leaching tests of these elements confirms As mobility as Zn and Pb are preferably leached from fresh slags, while As is present in greater amounts in leachate from weathered slag samples. The documented amounts of As, Zn, Pb and their mobility in slags produce an environmental risk, as this material is currently used widely for commercial purposes.

Electrochemically treated acid wastedump water is assumed a promising intensifier for heap leaching of Cu-Zn ores. The electrochemical water preparation allows reagent-free adjustment of acidbase and redox properties and ion composition of water product, as well as the saturation of the water with fine-dispersion electrolysis gases. In this context, it is necessary to analyze the influence of the electrochemically treated wastedump water on pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite.

“…Unlike the isovalent substitutions Zn 2+ → Me 2+ (Me = Cd, Fe, Mn, and Hg), other cations like In 3+ , Ga 3+ , and Ag + incorporate into ZnS through heterovalent schemes. The isovalent substitutions produce diverse multicomponent solid solutions, namely FeS, CdS, HgS, and ZnSe, that have a cubic zinc blende-type structure: rudashevskyite (FeS cub ), hawleyite (CdS cub ), metacinnabar (HgS cub ), and stilleite (ZnSe cub ) [1,[67][68][69]. Alabandite (MnS cub ) belongs to the galena structural type, and the (Zn,Mn)S cub solid solutions are more restricted than (Zn,Fe)S cub .…”

Ultrahigh-Temperature Sphalerite from Zn-Cd-Se-Rich Combustion Metamorphic Marbles, Daba Complex, Central Jordan: Paragenesis, Chemistry, and Structure

et al. 2020

Minerals of the Zn-Cd-S-Se system that formed by moderately reduced ~800–850 °C combustion metamorphic (CM) alteration of marly sediments were found in marbles from central Jordan. Their precursor sediments contain Se- and Ni-enriched authigenic pyrite and ZnS modifications with high Cd enrichment (up to ~10 wt%) and elevated concentrations of Cu, Sb, Ag, Mo, and Pb. The marbles are composed of calcite, carbonate-fluorapatite, spurrite, and brownmillerite and characterized by high P, Zn, Cd, U, and elevated Se, Ni, V, and Mo contents. Main accessories are either Zn-bearing oxides or sphalerite, greenockite, and Ca-Fe-Ni-Cu-O-S-Se oxychalcogenides. CM alteration lead to compositional homogenization of metamorphic sphalerite, for which trace-element suites become less diverse than in the authigenic ZnS. The CM sphalerites contain up to ~14 wt% Cd and ~6.7 wt% Se but are poor in Fe (means 1.4–2.2 wt%), and bear 100–250 ppm Co, Ni, and Hg. Sphalerite (Zn,Cd,Fe)(S,O,Se)cub is a homogeneous solid solution with a unit cell smaller than in ZnScub as a result of S2− → O2− substitution (a = 5.40852(12) Å, V = 158.211(6) Å3). The amount of lattice-bound oxygen in the CM sphalerite is within the range for synthetic ZnS1−xOx crystals (0 < x ≤ 0.05) growing at 900 °C.
