Abstract
Fundamental rate processes in sulfide leaching are reviewed. Electrochemical reactions of importance in dissolution and solidstate conversion reactions are presented and emphasis is placed upon copper and lead sulfides. Parameters important in characterizing potential new hydrometallurgical processes using anodic and cathodic reactions are reviewed.
