2012-1-1 1.2. Chalcopyrite Ore Production The sulfide ore minerals including chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2), sphalerite (ZnS), galena (PbS) provide the major sources of the world’s base metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, respectively), whereas pyrite is virtually ubiquitous as a metalliferous mineral in sulfide ore deposits (Crang and Vanghan, 1994).The first step in recovering metal from their mineral is that of finding ...
Read More2017-11-10 Chalcopyrite ore was obtained from the Quebrada Blanca mine in northern Chile. The ore contained 0.52% copper, with > 95% of that copper being present as chalcopyrite.Prior to use, the ore was crushed to − 13 mm, resulting in a P 80 of 11.4 mm and a fines (− 150 μm) content of 4%. Table 1 details the chemical composition and mineralogy of the chalcopyrite ore sample.

In practice, it is impossible to produce a concentrate consisting of only one mineral. 3. The third rule is a corollary of the second. It is impractical to recover all of the valuable minerals into the concentrate.
