The results show that the sulphides dissolve obviously except pyrite. Based on the relationship between elemental sulfur and the residual sulphides in the leaching residue, the ...
industrialized, in which zinc sulphide concentrate is directly leached and the sulphidic sulfur is oxidized to elemental form rather than to SO2, so that the pollution of SO2 is completely avoided. The ZPL process offers an attractive alternative to roasting in the expansion plans of existing zinc plants, or in the design of new facilities.
01-02-2017· 1. Introduction. Direct oxidative leaching of zinc sulphide concentrates in an acidic environment is a complex process. It involves reactions between ZnS and the oxidizing agents at the reacting surface of the concentrate particles, decrease of the active surface area of the particles as the reaction proceeds, intraparticle diffusion of oxidants in the pores of the particles, gas–liquid and ...
01-04-2005· That is why this paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation on oxidation leaching of chalcopyrite concentrate (Slovakia) in the presence of manganese polymetallic nodules (Clarion–Cliperton ore field) in a hydrochloric acid medium with special attention to copper, zinc…
16-03-2019· Consumption of zinc metal has been rapidly increased in the world. Zinc metal exists as oxide, sulfide, carbonate and silicate ores, among which zinc oxide ores have not been mined because it is very difficult to separate zinc from gangue or to concentrate using the conventional flotation processes. In the current study, a low-grade zinc oxide ore containing 5.9% Zn, 33.4% Fe and 13.7% Mn was ...
01-12-2013· In the 1980s, the innovative process of zinc pressure leach (ZPL) was industrialized, in which zinc sulphide concentrate is directly leached and the sulphidic sulfur is oxidized to elemental form rather than to SO 2, so that the pollution of SO 2 is completely avoided.
The recovery of zinc from sphalerite concentrate by oxidative leaching with ammonium, sodium and potassium persulphates in sulphuric acid media is reported in this investigation.
The present work reports the direct leaching of zinc from a sphalerite concentrate in acid media. Lab-scale and pilot-scale experiments were conducted in atmospheric-pressure and low-pressure reactors, respectively. Leaching of zinc and precipitation of iron was achieved in the same stage using different reagents like Fe3+, O2, O3, and Fe2+ (which is continuously oxidized in the leaching ...

However, direct oxidative leaching of zinc sulphide in sulphuric acid has been employed industrially. The merits of the process are that high zinc recoveries are achieved and iron is rejected in its insoluble form and sulphur produced in its non-pollution elemental form. II.
09-08-2020· Zinc sulphide ores can be treated by bioleaching through direct or indirect mechanism . In the direct bioleaching mechanism, Zn is extracted by direct oxidation of insoluble zinc sulfide to soluble zinc sulfate, which is catalyzed by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, as shown in Eq.

In the field of hydrometallurgy, the industrial uptake of leaching models has been overlooked partially due to the lack of universal models. A model developed for one plant cannot easily be transferred for the application of a different plant without redesigning the leaching kinetics in the code. The Multiple Convolution Integral (MCI)-based model developed in this thesis has the ability to be ...
