Abstract

The mineralogical composition of the tailings remaining after the flotation of lead and zinc sulphide ores originating from the two most characteristic areas of the Silesian-Cracovian deposits (Poland) was estimated. The main component of the tailings was dolomite containing non-uniformly distributed isomorphic admixtures of Fe(II) and Mn(II). The tailings from the Boleslaw area differ from those from the Trzebionka area in a relatively high content of iron sulphides and in the frequent occurrence of siderite. Simultaneous thermal identification of siderite and ferroan dolomite in the presence of iron sulphides was performed by using a flowing Ar furnace atmosphere.
