Abstract

This paper has analyzed dominant zinc element in sphalerite naturally found together with galena in mineral ore. Since pyrometallurgical route related to roasting process is very common to mineral dressing, therefore, this investigation has studied the effect of varied roasting time (30 min, 60 min, and 90 min) and temperature (500oC, 600oC, and 700oC) on zinc mineral examination using XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and zinc element using XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) analyses. Previous studies usually applied cheaper AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometer) for zinc analysis in aqueous solution, however, sphalerite is a solid matrix and therefore, this study has applied XRF to analyze zinc. Pyrometallurgical process of zinc mineral in sphalerite is related to mineral transformation in the form of ZnSO4, ZnS, and ZnO that cannot be detected by XRF. Therefore, this study has used XRD that can observe mineral transformation.   The XRD pattern shows four intense peaks at 2θ (28o, 47o, 56o, and 76o) justified sphalerite (ZnS) sample with little amount of pyrite (FeS2) and galena (PbS) as impurities. The XRF analysis shows from 30 min to 90 min, the Zn content has increased remarkably at 700oC and Zn content looked stagnant at 500oC, while Zn content increased dramatically from 60 min to 90 min at 600oC. During roasting process at high temperature, ZnS mineral converted to ZnO and expelled SO2 gas due to oxidation reaction causing weight reduction. The study is valuable for mineral processing in searching for optimization.

Abstract

This research is related to lead (Pb) leaching from galena ores using acid leaching method. The galena ores have been treated through pyrometallurgy method by roasting at 600oC 1h to yield galena concentrate. The Pb concentration has been determined by AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry) using acid leaching method. This study has observed the effect of leaching acid concentration (acetic and sulfuric acids) and rotation rate on Pb leaching at 50oC 45 min. This study shows that varied acetic acid concentrations gave more effect on Pb extraction. Optimum condition achieved for 2.0 M acetic acid for all given rotation speeds (200 rpm, 300 rpm, and 400 rpm). For sulfuric acid leaching, optimum condition achieved at 1.0 M H2SO4 at 400 rpm. From the results, it is apparent that varied rotation speed (200 rpm, 300 rpm, 400 rpm) gave lesser effect on Pb leaching rather than varied acid concentration effect (0.5 M, 0.75 M, 1.0 M, 2.0 M, and 3.0 M).  In addition, the XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) analysis on galena ores shows the existence of lanthanum, ytterbium, and europium (rare earth elements) in significant amount since rare earth elements displays important role in modern industry for nuclear battery, dental apparatus, microchips, hybrid vehicles, catalyst for cracking, audio device, and ceramic agent. Statistical and numerical analysis are briefly included in this study to determine the dominant factor and process optimization.
