This study explores the thermodynamic feasibility of selectively oxidizing iron
contained in chalcopyrite mineral while preventing the oxidation of copper sulphide, with the ultimate
goal of enhancing the copper concentration in the sulphide concentrate. A redox reaction in the solid
phases between chalcopyrite and copper (I) oxide was constructed and subjected to thermodynamic
analysis. The research identifies a crucial temperature range of 498-598 K (225-325 °C) as the most
favourable for the redox reaction. The equilibrium constants at the selected optimal temperatures, 1.152
for chalcopyrite and 1.137 for copper (I) oxide, indicate that the redox reaction adheres to the expected
kinetic behaviour. The significance of these findings lies in the potential to selectively oxidize iron in
chalcopyrite, allowing for its subsequent removal through magnetic separation. This strategic approach
promises an increase in the copper percentage within the sulphide concentrate, thereby enhancing the
efficiency and economic viability of copper extraction processes. The study not only provides valuable
insights into the thermodynamics of the chalcopyrite-copper (I) oxide redox reaction but also
establishes a practical temperature range for its optimal execution. The successful implementation of
this approach holds considerable promise for the mining and metallurgical industries, offering a
pathway to improve copper recovery processes and addressing the economic challenges associated with
traditional extraction methods.
