Abstract

This work presents the results of investigation process of copper concentrate roasting in fluidized bed reactor with the aim of studying the transformations of copper concentrate minerals as well as to check the accordance with theoretical predictions. The roasted samples were examined using chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction, and mineral microscopy.
