Abstract

Language:

Arsenic, antimony and bismuth are commonly found in copper concentrates usually as the minerals enargite, stibnite and bismuthinite, respectively. Concentrates having high levels of arsenic and antimony must be pretreated before smelting. Roasting is the preferred method for removing these toxic impurities from concentrates; However, the removal of As, Sb and Bi in oxidizing roasting by volatilization may not be complete due to the slow reaction rates at 500-700 °C. Oxidizing/volatilization data were obtained from pure mineral mixtures and from arsenic rich copper concentrate. The reaction mechanism for the volatilization of arsenic and antimony were discussed. Near 100% As and over 95% Sb volatilized in the oxidation of a mixture of pure minerals at 700 °C, 1% oxygen, while over 95% As, and 35% Sb volatilized at 600 °C in 1% oxygen atmosphere when using a copper concentrate containing 3.51% As, 0.14% Sb, and 0.01% Bi. Bismuth did not volatilize.
