Abstract

The sulfating roasting of the chalcopyrite concentrate with various pyrite contents is investigated in activated conditions in order to obtain the preferentially sulfate cinder most suitable for leaching and for the effective recovery of copper and accompanying iron. The activating effect that the trivalent iron sulfate which forms as a result of the low-temperature oxidation of pyrite, as well as the steam-air medium, has on the kinetics and completeness of the sulfatization of the concentrate are shown.
