Abstract

The present work studies the surface evolution of cinnabar, when it is leached with HBr acid for different conditions. The dynamicin situ test has been studied by scanning electron microscopy and EDS techniques. According to the acid condition, time, and temperature, the HgS presents different mechanisms of dissolution, and the results prove that the cinnabar does not present “memory effect”, as proposed by other authors.16
