The electronic structures of major sulfide minerals (pyrite, chalcopyrite, covellite, chalcocite, sphalerite, galena) are best understood in terms of models based on molecular orbital theory and incorporating elements of band theory. Such models may be developed from molecular orbital cluster calculations (using the SCF-Xa scattered waye method, for example) and tested and refined by comparison with the results of spectroscopic studies, particularly those employing X-ray emission and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The models provide a basis for understanding the crystal chemistry and physical properties of the minerals, including their electrical behavior, and potentially can be developed to gain a fuller understanding of the surface properties of the minerals. Application of these ideas in understanding and predicting leaching. behavior will be discussed with particular emphasis on the sulfides of copper and iron.
