N2 - The kinetics of dissolution of natural enargite in ammoniacal solution has been investigated. Unlike other copper sulfide minerals, the dissolution of copper from enargite is very slow and only 60% of the copper is extracted after 24 hours. The rate of dissolution is favored by high temperatures and high oxygen pressures. The experimental data seem to fit an electrochemical mechanism.
