Description
Summary:The paper presents DTA/TG results of polymetallic sulphide copper concentrate from the mine 'Veliki Krivelj' (Serbia) at 25-1000 °C. The reaction mechanism at elevated temperatures was proposed. As confirmation to the proposed mechanism, the results of EDXRF and, XRD analysis of the initial sample and the oxidation products at 550 and 950 °C, and the results of SEM/EDS analysis of the initial sample and the oxidation products at 675 ° C were presented. It can be concluded that the oxidation process goes through sulfide oxidation with characteristic exothermic effects, followed by sulfates and oxy- sulfates formation and their. Kinetic analysis of the oxidation process concentrates the test was performed according to the methods of Kissinger and Ozawa in non-isothermal conditions. The results of kinetic studies have shown that the oxidation process in the whole investigated temperature range is located in the kinetic field.
