In–situ XRD and EDS method study on the oxidation behaviour of Ni–Cu sulphide ore

Abstract The oxidation mechanism of sulfides is the key issue during the sulphide–metallurgy process. In this study, the phase transformation and element migration were clearly demonstrated by in–situ laboratory–based X–ray diffraction (XRD) and energy–dispersive X–ray spectroscopy (EDS), respective...
