The con- centmte powder was composed mainly of free chalcopyrite and low quartz in about 3：1 weight ratio. The particle size was about 100 μm. Spectroscopic studies （FTIR, Raman, UV-visible） of the concentrate supported the XRD findings, and also revealed a marginal oxidation of the sulfide phase. The energy band gap of the sulfide was found to be 3.4 eV. Differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry of the con- centrate showed a decomposition of chalcopyrite at 658 K with an activation energy of 208 kJ-mol 1, and two successive structural changes of silica at 848 K and 1145 K.展开更多
