For the recovery of New World silver, the Patio process was employed. Silver-bearing ore was ground and then mixed with salt, roasted copper ore, and mercury. The mixing was accomplished by tethering mules to a central post on a paved patio (hence the name of the process) and compelling them to walk in a circle through the mixture. The silver ...

The results indicate that pyrite can nonlinearly accelerate the process of spontaneous combustion. The coal sample with a pyrite content of 5 % has the largest CO release rate and oxygen adsorption as well. However, the coal sample with a pyrite content of 7 % has the largest rate of heat flow according to the results from the DSC tests.

It is now clear that the cathodic reaction is the rate-determining step for sulfide mineral oxidation (e.g., Brown and Jurinak, 1989). Williamson and Rimstidt (1994) showed that the pyrite oxidation rate depends on the concentration of Fe 3+ or O 2 (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Because the oxidant is involved in the activated complex, we can deduce that …

Flotation process: The raw ore is directly flotation of pyrite after crushing and grinding. For a single pyrite ore, xanthates such as ethyl xanthate, butyl xanthate, and isobutyl xanthate can be used as collectors to effectively recover pyrite. In some cases, pyrite undergoes a certain degree of oxidation, which weakens its floatability.

At Silver Queen mine (Canada) a combined lime-starch-SO 2 conditioning scheme is used for copper flotation from the Pb/Zn sulphides (Bulatovic, 2007b). In the process, lime (1200 g/t) and starch (200 g/t) are used first, at pH 10.5–11.2, after which the pH is reduced to 5.5 with SO 2 (200 g/t) and the copper sulphide floated.
