Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of experimental investigation of the chalcopyrite-pyrite concentrate oxidation in the air. Characterisation of the initial sample and oxidation products was done by ICP-AES, XRD, EDXRF methods. Phase stability diagrams were constructed for Cu-Fe-S-O system at 25, 450, 650 and 900 °C. Equilibrium composition of the charge for the optimal oxidation process was calculated. DTA-TG analysis was used for monitoring the oxidation process. Kinetic parameters in non-isothermal conditions were determined, based on Kissinger and Ozawa methods.Values of activation energies showed that all stages of the oxidation process occur in the kinetic field.
