The traditional metallurgical routes for producing lead and zinc from primary sources have a significant environmental footprint. Thus, using less pollutant solvents, such as deep eutectic solvents (DESs), would offer a greener solution in metal extraction.

Leaching of indium from an indium-and iron-bearing sphalerite concentrate in sulfuric acid– ferric sulfate solution was examined. The effects of various parameters were studied. Increases in the stirring speed, temperature, ferric ion and sulfuric acid concentrations, and decreases in the particle size, enhanced the indium leaching rate. Scanning electron …

1. Introduction. Sphalerite (ZnS/Zn 1-x Fe x S), the world's principal ore of zinc (Zn), produces approximately 85% of the metallic zinc consumed globally (Kursunoglu et al., 2021).It is known that sphalerite is the primary source of both zinc and cadmium (Cd) in the Earth's crust since cadmium commonly coexists with zinc in this Zn ore due to the …

The effect of particle size on leaching of sphalerite concentrate was studied using different size fractions (147–106 μm, 106–74 μm, 74–58 μm, 58–48 μm, 48–42 μm, 42–37 μm,), and the results are shown in Fig. 2. The indium content in sphalerite concentrate of the different size fractions were given in previous work.

When the concentrate is pumped out of them, the water content has been reduced far enough to allow the next piece of equipment, the filters, to execute their part in the removal of the water. This equipment filters the concentrate to dry it as much as possible to enable the drier to finish preparing the concentrate for shipping.

In concentrate C4 two exotherms are observed. The first exotherm is due to the pyrite oxidation (with a maximum at 486 °C), and the second one–due to the sphalerite oxidation, with a maximum at 726 °C. Concentrate C5 has a strong exotherm at a maximum of 748 °C. In concentrate C6 there are three exotherms observed.

The sphalerite concentrate (200 mesh) was roasted for 3 hours at 700°Cto reduce the sulphur content in the sample. Following that, leaching was performed using a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration range of 1-6mol/L for 1-5 hours. The zinc levels in the leached solution were determined using XRF (X-RayFluorescence) and SEM …

Abstract In the present work, a biosurfactant-producing and sulfur-oxidizing mixotrophic bacterium (identified as Citrobacter sp.) was studied as flotation reagents to substitute for several hazardous chemical reagents to establish a cleaner and greener mineral processing. The mixotrophic bacterium Citrobacter sp. was adapted with galena …

The influence of high concentration Zn 2+ on the floatability of sphalerite in an acidic system was investigated via flotation experiments, zeta potential measurements, contact angle measurements, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated that Zn 2+ was adsorbed on the sphalerite surface and a Zn-hydroxyl complex was …

1. Introduction. Sphalerite (ZnS) is the principal ore mineral for zinc (Zn) and accounts for approximately 95% of the world's zinc mine production (International Lead and Zinc Study Group, 2021).The crystal structure of sphalerite allows it to incorporate a broad range of elements, occurring from trace (e.g., gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), indium (In), …
