Due to an ever-increasing demand for commodity and technology metals, secondary resources can complement the primary resource supply. Sulfidic mining waste from the Neves-Corvo mine (Portugal) is a pyrite-rich tailing that still contains valuable metals (Cu, Zn) and minor amounts of technology metals (Co, Mn) in the form of sulfides. In this work, by fine-tuning a fast microwave (MW)-assisted oxidative roasting process (5 min, 550 °C), the sulfide minerals containing the desired metals converted to water-soluble sulfate phases, whereas pyrite converted to waterinsoluble magnetite and hematite. The desired metals Cu (76%) and Zn (46%), as well as Co (66%) and Mn (53%), could thus be selectively leached over Fe (2.9%) in water (25 °C, 30 min). The obtained leachates were further purified by selectively precipitating Fe (95%) and As (100%) by a MW-assisted hydrothermal treatment (150 °C, 1 h), leaving Cu, Zn, Mn, and Co in solution for further recovery. In the proposed three-step method, no chemicals other than water were used, and the environmental risks of the final residues were significantly decreased, compared to those of the original sulfidic mining waste.
