Results of recent experimental studies and modern theoretical concepts are combined in this volume to provide a comprehensive analysis of sulfide mineral oxidation processes. Introductory chapters discuss the properties of sulfide minerals and various investigative techniques, followed by chapters on oxidation mechanisms and the behavior of minerals under these various oxidizing conditions. This book also demonstrates modern methods of physical-chemical modelling and the regulation and optimization of flotation processes.

"Electrochemistry of Flotation of Sulphide Minerals" systematically covers various electrochemical measurements, especially electrochemical corrosive methods, electrochemical equilibrium calculations, surface analysis, semiconductor energy band theory as well as molecular orbital theory. Behaviour and mechanism of collectorless and collector-induced flotation of sulphide minerals in various flotation systems are also discussed. The example of electrochemical flotation separation of sulphide ores shows an industrial application. Prof. Yuehua Hu is a professor at the School of Minerals Processing & Bioengineering of Central South University and Vice Chairman of the Mineral Processing Committee of the China Nonferrous Metals Society. Dr. Wei Sun is an associate professor at the School of Minerals Processing & Bioengineering of Central South University. Prof. Dianzuo Wang is both a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, and a foreign associate of the National Academy of Engineering (USA).

Volume 61 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry presents an up-to-date review of sulfide mineralogy and geochemistry. The crystal structures, electrical and magnetic properties, spectroscopic studies, chemical bonding, thermochemistry, phase relations, solution chemistry, surface structure and chemistry, hydrothermal precipitation processes, sulfur isotope geochemistry and geobiology of metal sulfides are reviewed. Where it is appropriate for comparison, there is brief discussion of the selenide or telluride analogs of the metal sulfides. When discussing crystal structures and structural relationships, the sulfosalt minerals as well as the sulfides are considered in some detail.

Biomining is the use of microorganisms in the recovery of metals from ores. During bioleaching, metals such as copper, nickel or zinc are oxidized through microbial action from the water-insoluble sulfide to the soluble sulfate forms. Although gold is inert to microbial action, microbes can also be used in gold recovery from certain types of ores because as they oxidize the ore, they open up its structure, thereby allowing a gold-solubilizing agent such as cyanide to penetrate the ore. The book describes several industrial bioleaching and biooxidation processes as well as the underlying theory and biology of the microbes involved.
