The 22 pages that link to Sulfide mineral, each with the reason it gives.

• Acid mine drainageNarrower topic: Sulfide minerals are the source materials whose oxidation can produce mine drainage.

• Froth flotationRelated: Many commercially important sulfide ores are concentrated by flotation.

• SulfideBroader topic: Sulfide minerals are major sources of copper, lead, zinc, and other metals.

• ChalcopyriteNarrower topic: Chalcopyrite belongs to this mineral class because sulfur bonds with copper and iron.

• Supergene enrichmentNarrower topic: Many primary copper deposits contain sulfides that release metals during oxidation.

• GalenaNarrower topic: Galena belongs to this mineral class because sulfur is bonded to lead.

• Copper smeltingRelated: Most copper smelting treats sulfide minerals whose sulfur must be removed.

• Roasting (metallurgy)Narrower topic: Many roasting processes begin with sulfide minerals such as zinc blende or chalcopyrite.

• Oxidation zoneNarrower topic: Sulfides in primary ore are the principal minerals altered by oxidation.

• Sulfate mineralCompared with: Sulfides contain sulfur without the oxygen-rich sulfate anion and often form in different environments.

• Oxide mineralCompared with: Sulfides are another major ore-mineral class, distinguished by sulfur rather than oxygen.

• ArsenopyriteNarrower topic: Arsenopyrite belongs to this mineral class because sulfur bonds with iron and arsenic.

• BorniteNarrower topic: Bornite belongs to this mineral class because sulfur bonds with copper and iron.

• Native element mineralCompared with: Sulfides contain chemically bound sulfur, unlike native sulfur and native metals.

• OrpimentNarrower topic: Orpiment belongs to this mineral class through its arsenic–sulfur composition.

• StibniteNarrower topic: Stibnite belongs to this mineral class because sulfur is bonded with antimony.

• Arsenide mineralCompared with: Sulfides are the closest broad mineral class, with sulfur occupying the role arsenic takes here.

• Goldschmidt classificationRelated: Sulfide minerals are the principal solid hosts for many chalcophile elements.

• Halide mineralCompared with: Sulfides are another anion-defined group with different chemistry and formation conditions.

• BiominingNarrower topic: Many biomined ores contain sulfides whose oxidation releases metals and supplies microbial energy.

• PentlanditeNarrower topic: Pentlandite belongs to this mineral class, whose bonding and chemistry shape its properties.

• TroiliteNarrower topic: Troilite belongs to this mineral class, whose members form through diverse chemical pathways.
