Complex sulphide ores represent considerable reserves and resources in base non ferrous metals, in precious metals, and in sulphur. Some of their essential characteristics, which allow a general presentation of the complexity of their processing options, from the ore to the pure metals or finished products, have already been presented by the author (1,2).
Using the Bureau's new process, galena concentrates are leached directly under oxidative conditions in waste fluosilicic acid at tem-. peratures less than 120°C.

Lead-zinc ore usually exists in the form of sulfide ores, such as sphalerite and galena. Flotation is the most commonly used method.. The lead-zinc ore processing solution is adjusted and used in combination according to ore characteristics, metal grade and other factors, such as gravity-flotation, magnetic-flotation, and gravity-magnetic-flotation, in …
Mixed sulphide–oxide lead and zinc ores are characterized by a very complex mineralogy, which presents economic and technical difficulties for the conventional mineral processing route. A variety of lead and zinc minerals (sulphide, silicate, carbonate, arsenate and chloro-arsenate) existed in the Angouran mixed high-grade ore …
lead smelter produces lead and lead alloys from lead-bearing scrap metal. For the primary lead smelting process used in the United States, lead sulfide ore concentrate is first fed to a sintering process to burn sulfur from the lead ore. The sinter is smelted with a carbonaceous reducing agent in a blast furnace to produce molten lead bullion.
Supergene and hypogene non-sulfide lead-zinc deposits are formed under oxidizing conditions and by oxidative destruction of primary base-metals sulfide ores. They occur in various oxidized …

Sulphide ores are the major source of valuable metals such as copper, lead, zinc, and nickel, as well as gold, silver, and platinum group metals (PGMs), and flotation is the dominant industrial process to recover these metals via the production of a …
1. Introduction. Zinc ore exists as both oxidized zinc and zinc-sulfide ore. Zinc is extracted primarily from the zinc-sulfide ore because it is easier to process by flotation than oxidized zinc [1], [2], [3]; however, there is an urgent need to handle the oxidized ore due to the gradual depletion of the sulfide ore.Consequently, the …
Lead sulfide (PbS) thin films of different morphology were synthesized via direct interaction of lead and sulfur vapors.

In this paper, an eco-friendly yet simple process is proposed to prepare high-purity metal lead directly from lead sulfide. According to thermodynamic calculation, lead sulfide can be decomposed into metal lead under vacuum. The pathway to decomposition is based on the reaction of 2PbS (s) = 2 Pb (l) + S 2 (g).
