Abstract

The phase equilibrium of the system As2S3–Cu2S–PbS and its pseudo binaries with low arsenic contents were studied using isothermal equilibrium and quenching experiments at temperatures between 773 and 1173 K. Based on the experimental results, the phase diagrams of these systems have been estimated. Both estimated pseudo binary phase diagrams indicate higher arsenic sulphide solubility into liquid than previously reported in the literature. The liquidus isotherms of the system As2S3–Cu2S–PbS indicate narrow fully molten area widening with increasing temperature between diginite and galena primary phase fields.

On a étudié l’équilibre de phase du système As2S3–Cu2S–PbS et ses pseudos binaires avec de faibles teneurs en arsenic en utilisant des expériences d’équilibre isotherme et de trempe à des températures entre 773 K et 1173 K. On a estimé les diagrammes de phase de ces systèmes en se basant sur les résultats expérimentaux. Les deux diagrammes de phase, pseudos binaires, estimés indiquent une solubilité plus élevée du sulfure d’arsenic dans le liquide que ce qui avait été rapporté auparavant dans la littérature. Les isothermes du liquidus du système As2S3–Cu2S–PbS indiquent une région étroite complètement fondue qui s’élargit avec une augmentation de la température entre les champs de phase primaire de la diginite et de la galène.
