The selective action mechanism of sodium butyl xanthate BX ammonium salt NH4 and sodium m nitrobenzoate m NBO on pyrite and arsenopyrite was examined by experiments and quantum chemistry
This study investigates the correlation between the electronic structure of the active sites on mineral surfaces and their adsorption capacity Density functional theory DFT and flotation experiments are employed to examine the bonding behavior and adsorption enthalpy of ethylxanthate on pyrite 1 0 0 and arsenopyrite 0 0 1 surfaces The results indicate that
less than the adsorption energy on the surface of pyrite ΔE = − kJ/mol The results are helpful to understand the synergistic mechanism of the agent on the surface of arsenopyrite and pyrite thus providing a reference for the selective separation of arsenopyrite 1 INTRODUCTION Arsenopyrite FeAsS is an extensively distributed
Ansrn lcr X ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS field emission scanning electron microscopy FESEM and open circuit potentials were used to compare the size chemical state and distribution of adsorbed and reduced gold from Au3 chloride solution on pyrite and arsenopyrite Many small AuO particles grow on the arsenopyrite surface whereas few much larger gold
2 1 Introduction Pyrite and arsenopyrite are the most important mineral phases in sulphide refractory gold ores due to their associative property in hosting gold and concomitant effect on gold
The activation properties of ammonium oxalate on the flotation of pyrite and arsenopyrite in the lime system were studied in this work Single mineral flotation tests showed that the ammonium oxalate strongly activated pyrite in high alkalinity and high Ca<sup>2 </sup> system whereas arsenopyrite was almost unaffected In mineral mixtures tests the recovery difference between
The activation properties of ammonium oxalate on the flotation of pyrite and arsenopyrite in the lime system were studied in this work Single mineral flotation tests showed that the ammonium oxalate strongly activated pyrite in high alkalinity and high Ca2 system whereas arsenopyrite was almost unaffected In mineral mixtures tests the recovery difference
The oxidation of sulfide minerals is of central importance due to the acid mine drainage AMD production The bio oxidation of pyrrhotite pyrite marcasite and arsenopyrite was carried out with mesophilic bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans A thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans at 34 °C for 30 oxidation tests showed that marcasite has
The ore styles primarily comprise auriferous pyrite arsenopyrite quartz vein disseminated pyrite arsenopyrite sericite quartz mineralized slate and intense mineralized slate breccia The gold bearing sulfide quartz veins have average Au grades up to g/t generally higher than that of mineralized rock in all orebodies of g/t and
Arsenopyrite FeAsS the most common arsenic bearing mineral is usually found associated with pyrite FeS 2 in gold mining work examined the galvanic effect of FeS 2 on As release from FeAsS oxidation in circumneutral media under oxygen depleted and oxygen saturated conditions The oxidation experiments were conducted with a flow through
Si respectively The arsenopyrite tailings AsPy con sisted of % Fe % S % As and % Si X ray diraction analysis indicated that the pyrite tailings Py consisted of pyrite FeS 2 and quartz SiO 2 In the arseno pyrite tailings AsPy the XRD identied phases include arsenopyrite FeAsS pyrite quartz as well as

The flotation separation efficiency of pyrite and arsenopyrite can be enhanced by low temperature oxygen plasma pretreatment In this study the plasma modification mechanism on arsenopyrite and
Abstract The first principles plane wave pseudopotential method is used to study the electronic and chemical structures of pyrite FeS2 and arsenopyrite FeAsS The results indicate that an antibonding interaction occurs between Fe and As atoms in arsenopyrite This interaction results in the Fe atom being repelled towards the S atom to stabilize antibonding
Pyrite and arsenopyrite exhibit different oxidation kinetics Ma and Bruckard 2009; Monte et al 2002; Ran et al 2019 Primarily crystal structure differences and atom arrangement are the reason for this observation Plaksin 1959 Under acidic conditions oxidation rate 3 4 orders of magnitude

The OCP oxidation potential E and charge transfer resistance R of arsenopyrite and pyrite declined as the solution pH increased but oxidation current density and carrier concentration N increased suggesting that a high solution pH is thermodynamically
A Syama la pyrite se prsente en grains isols au sein de la roche mais forme le plus souvent des alignements associs aux veines rectilignes et plus rarement microplisses La taille des grains de pyrite varie de quelques dizaines de microns plusieurs millimètres Au niveau de l chantillon on distingue deux habitus pour les pyrites i des cristaux automorphes isols
Three subtypes of pyrite Py3a Py3c and two subtypes of arsenopyrite Apy2a Apy2b from stage 3 have relatively low Au concentrations up to and ppm for pyrite and arsenopyrite respectively and show a narrow variation in δ 34 S values from
The distribution of Au and associated trace elements in pyrite and arsenopyrite from late Archean Hutti and Hira Buddini orogenic gold deposits eastern Dharwar Craton southern India was investigated by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
