The phenomenon known as supergene enrichment refers to the secondary, in situ, accumulation of metals as a result of three essential processes: (1) the electrochemical oxidation of primary sulfides, oxides, or native metals (e.g., native copper Cu(0) to Cu(II)), (2) the transport of the released metals as soluble metal species (e.g., …
Precious metals can be mobilized during supergene processes, which are important for the formation of high-grade or high-purity ores. The world-class Linglong gold deposit has high-grade ores that have undergone supergene processes in the near-surface zone. Under which conditions the supergene modification occurred and how Au and Ag …

For example, an eroding phyllic or argillic ...
The results of this preliminary analysis show that only 12 (30%) of the deposits contain(ed) appreciable amounts of silver ore generated by silver sulfide enrichment, mainly in the form of acanthite and argentian chalcocite-group minerals in the cases where its mineralogic characteristics are recorded.
Supergene enrichment in the Morenci porphyry copper deposit was formed as a result of the coupled processes of erosion and chemical weathering that accompanied five stages of landscape evolution in the Cenozoic Era. During Stage 1 (64 to 53 Ma), lowgrade primary chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization was deposited as a result of Laramide magmatic …
Here we find that biomass enrichment (doping) with refined minerals, mineral by-products, or ground rocks reduces carbon loss during pyrolysis, lowering carbon dioxide removal costs by 17% to US ...
While the copper mineral is usually in the form of sulfuration exiting in the mineral. Its natural floatability is good, so froth flotation is the main method of extracting copper ore. ... Feature: Flotation machine is …

Process control in flash smelting is based on mass and energy balance from which the operational parameters (oxygen coefficient, oxygen enrichment, and flux demand) are obtained to achieve matte and slag with defined compositions and at defined temperatures. Mineral compositions of copper concentrates, and their blends, have been used in …
As the global demand for tellurium (Te) increases, it is crucial to develop efficient recovery methods that consider existing supply streams. This research …
Supergene chalcocite enrichment during weathering is an economically vital natural process that may lead to severalfold increases in the copper content of sulfide deposits. A scanning electron microscope study of chalcocite (Cu2S) from major ...
Marine Co-rich ferromanganese crusts and polymetallic nodules, which are widely distributed in oceanic environments, are salient potential mineral resources that are enriched with many critical metals. Many investigations have achieved essential progress and findings regarding critical metal enrichment in Fe-Mn crusts and nodules. This …
A comprehensive recovery process for the selective separation and enrichment of copper, zinc and iron minerals from a polymetallic ore was developed, which consisted of copper flotation, zinc flotation, and iron magnetic separation, and the adsorption mechanism of the copper collector Z-200 (O-isopropyl-N-ethyl …
From the first issue in 1905 onward, Economic Geology has been the main publication for those who study mineral deposits; indeed, it is now difficult to imagine economic geology without Economic Geology. ... Copper enrichment in the central Andes coincided with several major periods of con-tractional deformation, crustal shortening, surface ...
Rhenium is an extremely rare critical metal element in Earth's continental crust. Owing to its extremely high melting point and heat-stable crystalline structure, rhenium is an essential component of alloy materials used in high-performance aircraft engines. Demand for rhenium resources is therefore growing. Currently, most rhenium is …
Supergene enrichment of Cu deposits in the Atacama Desert has played a critical role in making this the prime Cu-producing province of the world. Previously, this has been believed to have occurred exclusively over a long period from the middle Eocene to the late Miocene, which ended when climatic conditions changed from arid to hyperarid. …
The optimal closed-circuit flotation test flowsheet (Fig. 1) was designed based on the results of single-factor condition experiments.It is particularly pointed out that adding sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3) before ball milling is to increase the possibility of copper-bearing mineral liberation from gangue minerals [6].The balance results after five …
Copper enrichment as replacement of chalcopyrite by bornite in the veinlet and removal of extra iron as hematite (Hem) at rim of reaction. (a, b) Hematite formed after chalcopyrite replaced to ...
Although basic porphyry copper flotation and metallurgy has remained virtually the same for many years, the processing equipment as well as design of the mills has continually been improved to increase production while reducing operating and maintenance costs. Also, considerable attention is paid to automatic sensing devices …
The flotation machine is important for realizing the flotation process. It can process metal or non-metal minerals, such as copper, lead-zinc, lithium, antimony, fluorite, talc, etc.After the minerals undergo wet grinding, the minerals dissociated into monomers are adjusted into a slurry of a certain concentration.
Reactive host rocks, comprising feldspars, mafic minerals, chlorite, and carbonates, buffer pH values that limit copper mineral destruction, thus restricting the …
