Gold mineral processing plant. Why Is Mineral Processing Important? The profitability of a mine is based on how much concentrate of the desirable mineral can be extracted from the ore. As a result, mineral processing is designed to yield the maximum amount of mineral concentrate possible before products hit the market.

The iron in the chalcopyrite ends up converted into an iron(II) silicate slag which is removed. Most of the sulfur in the chalcopyrite turns into sulfur dioxide gas. This is used to make sulfuric acid via the Contact Process. An overall equation for this series of steps is: [2CuFeS_2 + 2SiO_2 +4O_2 rightarrow Cu_2S + 2FeSiO_3 + 3SO_2 label{1} ]
