Recovering Zinc-Lead Sulfide From a Geothermal Brine

RECOVERING ZINC.LEAD SULFIDE FROM A GEOTHERMAL BRI NE By L. E. Schultze 1 and D. J. 2 ABSTRACT The Bureau of Mines devised a technique to recover a Zn-Pb concen­ trate from a geothermal brine. More than 99 pct of the Zn and Ph was precipitated by treating the brine with H2S and controlling the pH with lime.

Current situation and forecast of environmental risks of a ...

One typical lead-zinc sulfide tailing impoundment was studied. Ten boreholes were set with the grid method and 36 tailings were sampled and tested. According to the results of metal content analysis, the tailing samples contained considerably high contents of heavy metals, ranging from 6.99 to 89.0 mg/kg for Cd, 75.3 to 602 mg/kg for Cu, 0.53% ...

Iron Sulfide Inhibition and Interaction With Zinc and Lead ...

Iron sulfide (FeS), zinc sulfide (ZnS), and lead sulfide (PbS) are considered to be among the most challenging scales in terms of inhibition and removal. They can form by the direct reaction of aqueous sulfide species with dissolved Fe, Zn, and/or Pb and by the exchange between aqueous sulfide species with preformed Fe compounds, such as Fe ...

Recovery of Silver, Gold, and Lead From a Complex Sulfide ...

cover gold, silver, and byproduct lead from a complex lead-zinc sulfide ore. A ferric chloride (FeCI3 ) preleach, at 40° C in 6 h, extracted about 50 pct of the zinc and formed insoluble silver and lead chlorides. Subsequent acid thiourea leaching, for 1 to 3 h at 40° C, extracted

Recovery of lead, zinc and iron sulfide - The Anaconda Company

A low grade lead concentrate were prepared from a fine grained massive sulfide lead-zinc ore. Such concentrates contained 29.0% lead, largely in the form of galena, 2.32% zinc, mainly in the form of sphalerite, 0.98% copper present as difficultly soluble chalcopyrite, about 40% iron as pyrite, and 14.67 oz. per ton of silver.

Zinc sulfide - Wikipedia

Zinc sulfide (or zinc sulphide) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of ZnS. This is the main form of zinc found in nature, where it mainly occurs as the mineral sphalerite.Although this mineral is usually black because of various impurities, the pure material is …

A Deposit Model for Mississippi Valley-Type Lead-Zinc Ores

A Deposit Model for Mississippi Valley-Type Lead-Zinc Ores 2 cm Sample of spheroidal sphalerite with dendritic sphalerite, galena, and iron sulfides (pyrite plus marcasite) from the Pomorzany mine. Note the "up direction" is indicated by "snow-on-the-roof" texture of galena and sphalerite alnong colloform layers of light-colored spahlerite.

Lead and Zinc - Energy

Lead and Zinc Lead and zinc ores are usually found together with gold and silver. A lead-zinc ore may also contain lead sulfide, zinc sulfide, iron sulfide, iron carbonate, and quartz. When zinc and lead sulfides are present in profitable amounts they are regarded as ore minerals. The remaining rock and minerals are called gangue.

Fine Grain Lead Zinc Sulfides Flotation

Fine Grain Lead Zinc Sulfides Flotation. This investigation has shown that lead and zinc sulfide minerals, in pulps containing particles all less than 9 microns in size, may be selectively recovered by froth flotation. All but one of the samples yielded lead concentrates-containing at least 57 percent Pb. Selective recovery of lead in the lead ...

Lead-, Zinc-, and Iron-Sulfide Mineralization from ...

Lead-, Zinc-, and Iron-Sulfide Mineralization from Northern Iraq. By Ali Ismail Al-Juboury, Waleed S. Shingaly, Elias M. Elias and Mohsin M. Ghazal. Submitted: April 28th 2017 Reviewed: November 15th 2017 Published: January 24th 2018. DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.72483

Inhibition of Lead and Zinc Sulphide Scale Deposits Formed ...

The development of a novel zinc and lead sulphide inhibitor gives a cost effective, environment friendly alternative to chemical or mechanical removal of such deposits. Introduction. The most common scales encountered in oil field operations are sulphates such as calcium sulphate (anhydrite, gypsum) barium sulphate (barite), strontium sulphate ...

Lead Sulfides - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

Galena, a lead sulfide (PbS), is heavy, brittle, and breaks into cubes. Sphalerite is a zinc sulfide (ZnS) mineral that is brownish, yellowish, or black. It ordinarily occurs with galena and is a major ore of zinc. The iron sulfide pyrite (FeS), which is also called fool's gold, is common in nearly all types of rocks.

Zinc Sulfides - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

Sphalerite is a zinc sulfide (ZnS) mineral with bronze-black (Fig. 1.49) and honey-yellow color.The mineral contains 67% zinc metal in its natural pure form. Majority of the large SEDEX (Sedimentary Exhalative) type zinc deposits are associated with lead, copper, silver, …

Silver Lead Zinc Ore Processing Method using Flotation

Sulphide ore of lead and zinc containing considerable silver was submitted for testing with the purpose of determining a flowsheet for the production of separate lead and zinc concentrates for marketing at their respective smelters. It is necessary to recover as much silver as possible in the lead concentrate as a higher return for this silver is realized than for the silver in the zinc ...
