Abstract:

The combined application of the structure sensitive techniques Fourier transform infrared μ-spectroscopy and Raman microscopy in conjunction with different approaches of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) including the two-color double pulse (DP-LIBS) have been applied towards the characterization of whole ore copper-sulfide minerals. Discrete information from the surface of the whole ore minerals that lead to the establishment of infrared marker bands and from the surface of bioleached samples that allow the monitoring of jarosite and biofilm formation are provided by FTIR mapping experiments. Raman data can provide information related to the type of the mineral and of the secondary minerals formed on the surface of the ore. Of the four different LIBS approaches applied towards the characterization of the composition of the whole ore minerals, the DP-LIBS shows the highest sensitivity with increasing signals for both the Fe and Cu metals in the whole ore samples.

Precipitation and Co-precipitation

Precipitation and coprecipitation methods can be used to separate a mixture of ions in a solution. In qualitative inorganic analysis, ions that form sparingly soluble precipitates with the same reagent are separated based on the differences in solubility products. For example, consider the separation of Cu(II) and Fe(II) ions by precipitation as insoluble sulfides. First, copper(II) sulfide is precipitated by the addition of acidic H2S, where the dissociation of H2S is suppressed. Adding H2S...
