Fundamentals of Chalcopyrite Dissolution in Alkaline Glycine Solutions

The slow leach rate of copper from chalcopyrite in acid solutions has often been attributed to the formation of a poorly soluble “passive” layer on the surface. For this study, it has been shown that no such passive layer exists in alkaline glycine solutions. Surface analyses have shown these specie...
