Funded Activity Summary

The recovery of Cu from chalcopyrite-pyrite containing concentrates, ores and tailings. Chalcopyrite, a major source of Cu, is often associated in ores with the valueless mineral pyrite. The development of more efficient methods for the retrieval of the Cu is of considerable economic importance to Australian minerals processing companies. We aim to develop methodologies allowing the more efficient : - separation of chalcopyrite and pyrite; - leaching of Cu from ores and tailing in a heap leach environment and - leaching of Cu in a concentrated chalcopyrite-pyrite reactor environment. These aims will be achieved via an integrated surface-solution speciation approach allowing the manipulation of surface properties.
