abstract

• The electrochemical study of sulfide minerals has emerged as a vital area for enhancing sustainable methods for extraction and recovery of metals. This field encompasses diverse investigations. The use of Mineral Carbon Paste Electrodes (CPE) is one of the strategies developed in México, and their application for analyzing systems of extractive metallurgy range from analyses of bacterial-mineral interactions to key studies that have delved into understanding mineral dissolution mechanisms, with a particular focus on minerals such as galena, sphalerite, copper sulfides, and silver minerals. In addition, research efforts have been directed towards exploring copper and zinc concentrates leaching, as well as cyanidation refractoriness. These studies aim to advance extraction efficiency and sustainability in the mining industry.
