Sulfide minerals such as pyrite form under reducing conditions in the presence of organic matter. Jarosite and natrojarosite, Fe-bearing sulfate minerals, are good indicator minerals. Visual observation of morphology and crystal habit is often sufficient to identify many of the carbonate, sulfate, and halide minerals.
2006-12-14 · The majority of the common minerals in Earth''s crust can be classified into seven groups, according to their chemical composition. This classification is summarised in the table below: Name of Group Example Chemical Composition Carbonate Calcite CaCO3 Halide Halite NaCl Oxide Haematite Fe2O3 Sulphide Galena PbS Sulphate Gypsum CaSO4

2016-10-1 · Minerals as semiconductors. Floatable sulphide minerals are semiconductors i.e. they can either accept or donate electrons in an electrochemically active system (Shuey, 1975, Pridmore and Shuey, 1976, Lotter and Bradshaw, 2010). A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, which can conduct electricity under ...

Mineral - Mineral - Sulfides: This important class includes most of the ore minerals. The similar but rarer sulfarsenides are grouped here as well. Sulfide minerals consist of one or more metals combined with sulfur; sulfarsenides contain arsenic replacing some of the sulfur. Sulfides are generally opaque and exhibit distinguishing colours and streaks. (Streak is the colour of a mineral…

2021-9-18 · Sulfide mineral. A sulfide mineral is a mineral containing sulfide (S 2-) as the major anion. Sulfides are economically important as metal ores. The sulfide class also includes the selenides, the tellurides, the arsenides, the antimonides, the bismuthinides, and the sulfosalts (sulfur and a second anion such as arsenic).
Sulfide minerals are compounds in which sulfur is combined as an anion with a metal (or semi-metal) cation or cations. The definition is commonly widened to include minerals in which the anion is As or Sb, sometimes together with S, and to include Se and Te minerals. The sulfosalts are a special group of the sulfide minerals that have a general ...
2021-9-15 · The sulfide minerals are a class of minerals containing sulfide (S2−) or persulfide (S22−) as the major anion. Some sulfide minerals are economically important as metal ores.

In order to determine whether it is desirable to quantify mineral-deposit models further, a test of the ability of a probabilistic neural network to classify deposits into types based on mineralogy was conducted. Presence or absence of ore and alteration mineralogy in well-typed deposits were used to train the network. To reduce the number of minerals considered, the analyzed data …
Minerals are classified according to their chemical properties. Except for the native element class, the chemical basis for classifying minerals is the anion, the negatively charged ion that usually shows up at the end of the chemical formula of the mineral. For example, the sulfides are based on the sufur ion, S 2–.
2014-10-13 · 2 Determination, Relationships and Classification of Sulfide Mineral Structures Experimental difficulties to determine the sulfides crystal structure make their study amenable than any other inorganic compounds. The acquisition of detailed structural information has therefore lagged in comparison to the other magnetic materials.
