“…In Figure 9b respectively. On the other hand, the positions of the S 2p for S n 2− /S 0 and SO 4 2− species were reported to be 163.4 and 168.5/169.3 eV [40][41][42], which were very close to our experimental data, indicating the oxidation of chalcopyrite. After ATDT treatment, the S 2p spectrum of chalcopyrite could be divided into three components with the binding energy centered at 161.44, 162.59 and 163.98 eV, respectively.…”

“…In addition to the two S 2p doublets, Figure 9c presented another peak positioned at 166.38 eV, which was attributed to the SO 3 2− species [40] indicating the oxidation of molybdenite. After the adsorption of ATDT, another peak was found centered at 165.12 eV, which is a typical characteristics of the S species [43], demonstrating that proper oxidation of the molybdenite surface benefitted the hydrophobicity of molybdenite.…”

Abstract:In this paper, 4-amino-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one (ATDT) was synthesized and introduced as a depressant for selective flotation separation of molybdenite from chalcopyrite. Its flotation performance and adsorption mechanism on minerals were first investigated by flotation, UV spectra, zeta potential, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Measurements (XPS). The bench scale tests indicated that ATDT exhibited stronger depressing power than chalcopyrite, and the selective index of Mo/Cu improved significantly in the presence of ATDT. The results of the UV spectra, zeta potential and FT-IR demonstrated that ATDT chemisorbed on the chalcopyrite surface. The XPS results further confirmed that ATDT might chemisorb onto the chalcopyrite surface through S and N atoms to form five-membered chelate rings and a postulated adsorption mode was presented. For molybdenite, the different measurements agreed well with each other and implied that ATDT might weakly physisorb onto a molybdenite surface.

“…It increases by the activity of iron-oxidizing microorganisms. This increase is beneficial for the dissolution of most of the metallic sulfides such as chalcocite, covellite and pyrite, but, in the case of chalcopyrite, the leaching behavior is more complicated in which its dissolution rate is maximal at low redox potentials [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

The effects of ferrous and ferric iron as well as redox potential on copper and iron extraction from the copper flotation concentrate of Sarcheshmeh, Kerman, Iran, were evaluated using shake flask leaching examinations. Experiments were carried out in the presence and absence of a mixed culture of moderately thermophile microorganisms at 50˚C. Chemical leaching experiments were performed in the absence and presence of 0.15 M iron (ferric added medium, ferrous added medium and a mixture medium regulated at 420 mV, Pt. vs. Ag/AgCl). In addition, bioleaching experiments were carried out in the presence and absence of 0.1 M iron (ferric and ferrous added mediua) at pulp density 10% (w/v), inoculated bacteria 20% (v/v), initial pH 1.6, nutrient medium Norris and yeast extract addition 0.02% (w/w). Abiotic leaching tests showed that the addition of iron at low solution redox potentials significantly increased the rate and extent of copper dissolution but when ferric iron was added, despite a higher initial rate of copper dissolution, leaching process stopped. Addition of both ferrous and ferric iron to the bioleaching medium levelled off the copper extraction and had an inhibitory effect which decreased the final redox potential. The monitoring of ferrous iron, ferric iron and copper extraction in leach solutions gave helpful results to understand the behaviour of iron cations during chemical and bacterial leaching processes.

“…Even if the determination of the exact nitrogen requirements is difficult to estimate (Rawlings, 2005), it is known that the 0Km medium is a quite rich medium, especially concerning the nitrogen source (ammonium). Excess of ammonium and/or other nutrients, by allowing iron and silver precipitation could not only promote chalcopyrite hindering and slow down the copper recovery kinetics (Cordoba et al, 2008a;Klauber, 2008;Sandström et al, 2005) but also limit silver extraction from the bioleached residue (Frías et al, 2002). Reducing the potential impact of the nutrients on precipitation phenomena should be an alternative to improve process metal recovery.…”

Bioleaching of an organic-rich polymetallic concentrate using stirred-tank technology

The bioleaching of a concentrate produced from a black shale ore in an industrial operation in Poland was assessed. Following preliminary batch culture tests, processing in continuous conditions was tested to determine the main specifications for the application of the stirred-tank technology to this organic-rich polymetallic concentrate.The experimental work was carried out in a laboratory-scale unit consisting of 3 stirred tanks (50L or 20L) using an acidophilic and moderate thermophilic bacterial population (42°C). Different configurations of the unit and key operating parameters were tested (nutrient medium composition, solids concentration, agitation and aeration rates). The analysis of both bacterial community structure and mineralogical characteristics of the concentrate and the bioleach residues were implemented in order to better understand the chemical and biochemical reactions occurring in the system. Using the data produced during the continuous operation, downstream processing assessment for both copper and silver recovery was also carried out. 1The best copper recovery obtained in the continuous operation was 92% and a hot brine leaching of the bioleach residue (PLINT process) allowed to recover 92% of the silver.Copper and silver recoveries seemed to be limited by incomplete chalcopyrite dissolution. A preliminary techno-economic evaluation of the concentrate bioprocessing including bioleaching, copper and silver recoveries demonstrated the potential economic feasibility. Recovery of silver plays an important role in the economy of the process. This study presents promising values to further investigate the bioprocessing option.
