Abstract

Language:

Dissolution of copper from a primary chalcopyrite ore supplied from Damar mine area in Murgul-Artvin, Turkey, has been investigated in sulphuric acid solution after the calcination with and without Fe2O3. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of Fe2O3 on the dissolution process of copper. The methodology involved thermogravimetric analysis to perform the calcination of chalcopyrite with and without Fe2O3, followed by the characterization of calcined samples using X-ray diffraction. In the leaching experiments, various parameters including calcination temperature, sulphuric acid concentration, solid/liquid ratio, agitation rate, particle size, dissolution temperature, and time were meticulously examined. The results indicated that the addition of Fe2O3 significantly enhanced sulphation during the calcination process, leading to improved copper dissolution efficiency. This research underscores the potential benefits of utilizing iron(III) oxide in the leaching processes of chalcopyrite, providing insights into optimizing conditions for copper recovery from sulphidic ores.
