ABSTRACT:
A process for treating a pyrite concentrate containing silver, copper and zinc to recover the metals contained therein is disclosed. The process includes the partial roasting of the concentrate to open the pyrite matrix to solution penetration followed by hydrometallurgical steps, including ferric sulphate leaching, reduction leaching, solid-liquid separation and metal extraction steps, to recover the copper and zinc separately and silver in concentrated form.
