Abstract

Procedure for treating iron containing metal sulphides, for the massive separation of the iron content thereof and so that the non-ferrous metal values are susceptible of recovery separately, characterized by comprising the steps of: heating said iron content metal sulphides at a high temperature in a practically antioxidant atmosphere to eliminate labile sulfur; contacting said destabilized sulphides with a reducing gas capable of accepting sulfur to convert the sulphitic iron from said sulphides into an acid leachable form, said reducing gas being contacted, in countercurrent, with said destabilized sulphides, whereby the reaction products Fuels and the labile sulfur thereof can be burned in an adjustable way with sufficient oxygen to provide heat for said heating phase and to convert the sulfur values into SO2 that is discharged from said heating phase, subjecting said sulfides to leaching acidic in aqueous sulfuric acid to produce a solution of ferrous sulfate and a solid residue containing copper and iron in a molar ratio of at least about 1: 1, with simultaneous evolution of H2S gas; discharge said ferrous sulfate and solid residue for the subsequent separation, as well as the recovery of non-ferrous metal values and the production of sulfuric acid for recycling to said acid leaching; burn a part of said H2S gas; combining the burnt H2S with SO2 from the heating phase for the production of at least part of the sulfuric acid necessary in said acid leaching; and combine the remaining H2S with the remaining SO2 from said heating phase for the production of elemental sulfur, controlling the production of sulfuric acid and elemental sulfur to supply the acid needs of the acid leaching phase with excess sulfur produced as sulfur elemental, thereby practically eliminating the discharge of sulfur values into the atmosphere.
