Abstract
Chalcopyrite, CuFeS2, is by far the most abundant copper-bearing mineral, and forms the basis of the major copper deposits currently being exploited. In flotation concentrates chalcopyrite is often accompanied by one or more of the following minerals; bornite, Cu5FeS4, pyrite, FeS2, pyrrhotite, Fe1-xS, or hematite, α-Fe2O3. Present copper extraction technology relies on smelting of concentrates, which is polluting and energy inefficient, and substantial effort has been directed towards hydrometallurgical treatment of copper concentrates [1,2].
