This paper reviews the properties of methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and its potential for use in
hydrometallurgy. Although MSA is much less known than sulfuric, hydrochloric or nitric acid …

This Tutorial Review acquaints chemists and metallurgists with the properties and industrial
applications of methanesulfonic acid (MSA, CH3SO3H). Over the past quarter-century, MSA …

Mineral replacement reactions are one of the most important phenomena controlling the
geochemical cycle of elements on Earth. In the early years, solid-state diffusion was …

Abstract Methanesulfonic acid (MSA, CH 3 SO 3 H) emerges as a sustainable and stable
medium for membrane-assisted electrodeposition in bismuth (Bi) recovery. The …

Pyrite is the most abundant metal sulfide in the Earth's crust and is also found on Mars. It can
form by direct hydrothermal precipitation or by polymorphic phase transformation from …

As the leading technology for producing bismuth ingots from bismuth sulfide concentrate,
pyrometallurgical smelting has the shortcomings of high energy consumption, gas pollution …

Aquatic ecosystems like rivers serve as sinks for heavy metals and other pollutants, and
being an open system, rivers are more vulnerable to contamination due to anthropogenic …

The selective leaching of lead from complex polymetallic sulfide secondary concentrate
(CPSSC) with the solution mixed by ferric methanesulfonate and methanesulfonic acid (Fe …

As a prevailing hydrometallurgical extraction system for bismuth sulfide concentrate, the
acidic chloride solution has superior applicability to raw materials and high recovery ratio of …

Pseudomorphic mineral replacement reactions occur in numerous geological processes (eg
metamorphism, metasomatism, ore deposition, and chemical weathering) and …
