Chalcopyrite is an important ore of copper found in a wide range of hydrothermal environments. It is often associated with sphalerite and galena. It oxidizes to form copper minerals such as malachite, azurite, cuprite and tenorite. Copper liberated from the breakdown of chalcopyrite may accumulate in secondary supergene enrichment zones, …

Chalcopyrite Ore Production The sulfide ore minerals including chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2), sphalerite (ZnS), galena (PbS) provide the major sources of the world's base metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, respectively), whereas pyrite is virtually ubiquitous as a metalliferous mineral in sulfide ore deposits (Crang and Vanghan, 1994).The first step in …
Chalcopyrite is the main mineral source of copper ore for extracting and producing copper. However, with the continuous mining of copper ore, the grade of chalcopyrite decreases year by year and its composition becomes more and more complex.
