Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9808989A1] The present invention relates to a method for processing pyrite minerals, using a microwave energized fluidizing reactor, under temperature conditions that provide reaction products that are relatively free of SO2 emissions. The controlled temperature conditions at which the reaction products are hematite and elemental sulphur may be achieved by recirculating and cooling a portion of the outgoing fluidizing gas and by adjusting the microwave energy supplied to the fluidized bed.
