Oxidation of sulphide minerals--II: determination of metal in the oxidation products of galena, sphalerite and chalcocite.
A 15% ammonium acetate and 3% acetic acid solution has been shown to be useful in the determination of the principal metal in small amounts of the oxidation products of galena, sphalerite and chalcocite. Its use in the determination of the extent of oxidation in concentrates or complex ores of these minerals is implied.
