Arsenopyrite is closely related to alloclasite, but is not an exact analogue, because of different As-S and S-As ordering. Arsenopyrite may contain up to about 9 wt.% Co; with higher Co contents, glaucodot will appear as a separate phase (Gammon, 1966). May be confused with the iron arsenide löllingite.

The activation of arsenopyrite and pyrite by cupric ions is caused by the formation of the same compound CuS on their surfaces. In strong alkaline media» the adsorbed cupric ions may stabilize the surface active sites on arsenopyrite» so that the enough and sufficient surface metal-surplus states are maintained.

Applying 120 g/t of DTP, recoveries of 78% and 36% of pyrite and arsenopyrite were obtained. With PAX, pyrite recovery was the same as DTP, while arsenopyrite had a 33% recovery. After the addition of hydrogen peroxide (2 kg/t) and PAX (120 g/t), the best separation efficiency was obtained, with recoveries of 63% (pyrite) and …

The gold particles of ALRG gold ore are almost wrapped by pyrite and arsenopyrite, and the direct gold leaching extent is less than 40 %, making it an extremely refractory gold ore. The ore sample in this study has an extremely low gold content of 0.85 g·t −1, iron content of 3.21 %, sulfur content of 2.27 %, and arsenic content of 0.19 %.

It is opaque with a bright, metallic luster. Its silver-white to steel-gray color tarnishes to dark gray. Arsenopyrite has a Mohs hardness of 5.5-6.0, distinct cleavage in one direction, and a specific gravity of 5.9-6.2. It occurs most commonly in hydrothermal veins in association with such minerals as quartz, pyrite, and chalcopyrite.

Arsenopyrite (FeAsS) is the most common As-bearing sulfide mineral. Under oxidising conditions, such as those in mine waste systems, it breaks down to release acids of As and S into the environment, resulting in acid mine drainage with high concentrations of dissolved As.

Pb-Bi-Te-Au-Ag bearing micro-particles (<2 µm) are observed exclusively in micro-fractures and pores in arsenopyrite. The absence of replacement features and element gradient suggests direct precipitation of Pb, Bi, Te, Au and Ag from a fluid that was unreactive towards arsenopyrite.

Arsenopyrite (FeAsS), orpiment (As 2 S 3), and realgar (AsS/As 4 S 4) are the most common arsenic sulfide minerals, occurring primarily in hydrothermal and magmatic ore deposits. Arsenic is commonly found in sulfide-bearing mineral deposits, especially with gold mineralization. Orpiment, due to its golden color, was used in ancient times as a ...
