Oxidative dissolution of chalcopyrite in ferric media: an x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study

The oxidative dissolution of chalcopyrite in ferric media often produces incomplete copper recoveries. The incomplete recoveries have been attributed to inhibition caused by the formation of a metal deficient sulphide and the deposition of elemental sulphur and jarosite. Although these phases have b...
