Frueh (1950) investigated bornite crystals from Bristol, Connecticut, and from Butte, Montana, and produced r-ray, thermal, and electrical evidence indicating that bornite can exist in both a low- and a high-tem-perature form. Frueh considers the structural difierence between the forms to be one of order-disorder. The disorder becomes …

Bornite, Cu 5 FeS 4, is a naturally-occurring mineral with an ultralow thermal conductivity and potential for thermoelectric power generation.We describe here a new, easy and scalable route for synthesising bornite, together with the thermoelectric behaviour of manganese-substituted derivatives, Cu 5 Fe 1−x Mn x S 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10). …
Bornite crystals usually tends to be small, black, ugly and not very sharp. Well, this specimen shows is colorful nature due to an iridescent alteration of a thin covering, its crystals are pretty huge and extremely sharp for the species. You can appreciate its beauty in the photo. Plus the specimen is a ...
bornite (Cu 5FeS 4), as a widespread natural mineral composed of non-toxic and earth-abundant elements. Bornite has ultralow thermal conductivity, adjustable electrical transport properties, and enhanced stability under large electric currents, showing a great potential as a new economical and eco-friendly thermoelectric material. ...
The leaching experiments with the synthetic bornite investigated the influence of the initial ferric ion concentration and temperature on copper dissolution. The reference condition was a leaching experiment performed at 353 K (80 °C), with 1 mol/L sulfuric acid, 2 mol/L sodium chloride, and 0.5 mol/L ferric iron.
Abstract. Neutron powder diffraction techniques have been used to investigate the magnetic structure of bornite, Cu5FeS4. Below the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature of 76 ± 2 K extra peaks ...
A thermodynamic and kinetic model is proposed to explain the formation of bornite, chalcopyrite, and magnetite during partial roasting of enargite-containing copper concentrates. The proposed mechanism involves solid–solid–gas and solid–gas reactions between chalcocite, pyrrhotite, gaseous sulfur, and oxygen. Bornite formation could be …
Heat capacities of synthetic bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4) have been measured by quasi-adiabatic calorimetry between 5 and 351 K and between 338 and 761 K by differential scanning calorimetry.The heat capacity of bornite exhibits a lambda -type anomaly at 65+ or -1 K associated with the antiferromagnetic ordering of the spins of the Fe (super 3+) ions.
Plasmonic semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) are a new and exciting class of materials that enable higher control of their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) than metallic counterparts. Additionally, earth-abundant and non-toxic materials such as copper iron sulfides are gaining interest as alternatives to heavy metal-based …
1. Introduction. The copper-iron sulphide mineral bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4) is a ternary semiconducting material that crystallises in the orthorhombic system and one of the main valuable sources of commercial copper after chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) and chalcocite (Cu 2 S) in chronology of economic importance (Buckley et al., 1984).Bornite is also one …
In an acidified ferric chloride solution, bornite leaches in two stages of reaction with the first being relatively much more rapid than the second; the first terminates at 28 pct copper dissolution. The first-stage dissolution reaction is electrochemical and is mixed kinetics-controlled; ferric-ion transfer through the solution boundary layer and reduction on the …
Three polymorphs are reported for synthesized as well as natural bornite referring to their formation temperature: (a) high-temperature form (b) metastable form or transition form (c) low-temperature form (Morimoto and Kullerud, 1961) (Table 2).The schematic diagram of the three forms of bornite is shown in Fig. 1.Although there are …
