Abstract:
In order to investigate the effect of pyrite on enargite leaching, the leaching kinetic and electrochemistry of enargite and pyrite mixture by chemical leaching under the condition of atmospheric pressure were studied. Leaching experiments of enargite and pyrite mixture in H2SO4-Fe2(SO4)3 system were investigated by leaching experimental device. The results show that the activation energy of enargite is decreased to 48.15 kJ/mol, while enargite leaching is increased by the addition of pyrite. Enargite leaching is increased dramatically up to 25% after 12 days with the proportion of enargite to pyrite equaled to 1:6. The morphological changes of sulfur and arsenic of mixture before and after leaching were demonstrated by XPS. Arsenic is promoted to transfer to pentavalent arsenic, which means less toxic. The rest potential of enargite is detected to 0.48 V by the electrochemical workstation. Electrochemical behavior explains the galvanic effect of chemical leaching of enargite and pyrite mixture, which promotes the dissolution of enargite. © 2018, Science Press. All right reserved.
