This dissertation reports a study of the dissolution mechanism which governs the leaching of Cu from chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) in acidic media at atmospheric pressure and examines the differences between chemical (abiotic), leaching and bioleaching. An array of solution, solid surface and bulk speciation studies were used to make a comprehensive study of the CuFeS2 leaching process(es). / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2008.
