A novel non-destructive workflow for examining germanium and co-substituents in ZnS
A suite of complementary techniques was used to examine germanium (Ge), a byproduct critical element, and co-substituent trace elements in ZnS and mine wastes from four mineral districts where germanium is, or has been, produced within the United States.

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of calcined natural sphalerite under visible light irradiation
The photocatalytic activity of natural sphalerite (the main mineral ore of ZnS) is relatively low in the absence of sacrificial donors. Present work focuses on the improvement of the photocatalytic activity of a natural sphalerite obtained from Abuni ...

Contamination of surface waters by mining wastes in the Milluni Valley (Cordillera Real, Bolivia): Mineralogical and hydrological influences [PDF]
This study is one of very few dealing with mining waste contamination in high altitude, tropical-latitude areas exploited during the last century. Geochemical, mineralogical and hydrological characterizations of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) in ...

Competitive adsorption mechanism of organic depressant SDD with BX on copper-activated sphalerite
The separation of Cu-Zn polymetallic sulfide by flotation has been a difficult and well-researched topic in the field of mineral processing. One of the important reasons why it is difficult to separate Cu and Zn is the presence of a large amount of ...
