Arsenic minerals are also found as impurities (as minor ores) in the ores of other metals such as gold or copper. Arsenopyrite is very often found in gold ores, while enargite (Cu 3 AsS 4) and tennantite ((Cu,Fe) 12 As 4 S 13) are the most common arsenic-bearing minerals associated with copper sulfide ore bodies .

Arsenic is a gray metal rarely encountered as a free element, but is widely distributed in minerals and ores that contain copper, iron and lead. Arsenic is often found in groundwater as a result of the natural weathering of rock and soil. Arsenopyrite, the most abundant ore mineral of arsenic, occurs in high-temperature hydrothermal veins ...

In addition, silver reports to concentrate as freibergite (Cu12As4S13 ). A reduction in arsenic content will therefore lead to a concurrent reduction in the silver content.A literature review by Long, Peng and Bradshaw (2012) indicated that arsenic bearing minerals could be removed using potential controlled flotation.

Leach conditions to maximize arsenic and copper extraction while minimizing bismuth extraction were determined: 25-wt pct H2SO4, 20- to 25-wt pct solids, a leach temperature of 55° C, and a 30-min residence time. These conditions yielded arsenic, copper, and bismuth extractions of >95, >85, and <25 pct, respectively.

Where Arsenic Comes From. Natural sources: Rock/soil: Earth's crust contains (on average) 2-5 ppm arsenic, though some kinds of minerals have much higher concentrations of arsenic. Some examples of arsenic minerals are arsenopyrite, realgar, orpiment, arsenolite. Weathering of these minerals will result in some arsenic getting into water and air.
