This paper reports a Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopic study of the kinetics of
roasting process of chalcopyrite at two different temperatures and for dif
ferent time intervals. Iron compounds formed at different stages of roastin
g have been identified and a possible scheme of transformations has been su
ggested to explain the observed kinetics. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Sc
