Abstract
This article delves into the industrial significance of sulfide minerals, focusing on their extraction methods and diverse applications across various sectors. Sulfide minerals, characterized by the presence of sulfur ions, are key sources of essential metals and chemicals. The extraction processes, primarily smelting and hydrometallurgical methods, are explored in detail. The article examines the pivotal role of sulfide minerals in the mining industry, their contributions to the chemical sector, and their increasing importance in the energy industry, particularly in battery technologies. Environmental challenges associated with sulfide mineral extraction are highlighted, and future prospects, including sustainable extraction methods and innovative applications, are discussed. Striking a balance between industrial significance and environmental considerations is emphasized for the sustainable utilization of sulfide minerals.
