A Study Of A New Hydrometallurgical Treatment For New Lead Belt Chalcopyrite Concentrates, Larry Steven Livingston

Masters Theses

"A two-phase research project was conducted on chalcopyrite concentrates from the New Lead Belt of Missouri. Phase one includes an ore microscopy study of the Magmont and Viburnum chalcopyrite concentrates in respect to mineralogy, particle size and interlocking characteristics of ore minerals and their possible relationships to poor chalcopyrite-galena separation in the copper flotation circuits.

Results of the ore microscopy study of the Magmont and Viburnum mines chalcopyrite concentrates suggest that interlocking of chalcopyrite and galena are not the cause of poor chalcopyrite-galena separation in the copper flotation circuits.

The most common sulfides found in the Magmont and Viburnum chalcopyrite …
