  CERAC, inc. - Sulfides Product Data Sheet
Sulfides are generally not thought of as high temperature materials, but at least 30 metallic sulfides display refractory properties which indicate potential uses at elevated temperatures.
Sulfides generally oxidize readily in moist air at ambient temperature or in dry air at elevated temperature.
Also, various sulfides have come under recent scrutiny as new battery materials, largely due to the relatively stable forms of metal sulfides in multiple oxidation states and to environmental acceptabilities.

 Method for preparing inorganic sulfides - Patent 4348299
Calcium and/or strontium sulfides are usually prepared by the sulfurization of the corresponding oxides or carbonates by heating in a hydrogen sulfide or carbon disulfide atmosphere.
Calcium sulfide, consisting of well-crystallized large particles, may be prepared by the novel method by heating a mixture of an oxidic material, such as the carbonate, oxide, or oxalate of calcium, with a reactive sulfurizing flux in a covered crucible in air at temperatures between 800.degree.
During the heating, alkali sulfides and polysulfides are released in the mixture which react with the oxidic materials forming the desired sulfides.

Sulfides in early-formed phenocrysts (olivine and augite) in basalt fragments and dome-forming andesite are globular nickel-bearing pyrrhotite, whereas some sulfides in the glass are irregularly shaped and copper rich.
Sulfide liquid formed in mafic silicate melts is enriched in Ni, Co, and Cu because the partition coefficients for these elements between sulfide liquid and silicate melt are high (>250 for Ni and Cu and 50 for Co at 1200°C; Rajamani and Naldrett, 1978).
Sulfide liquid that formed in evolved silicate melts tends to be low in nickel and cobalt and high in copper because of preferential incorporation of nickel and cobalt into early silicate minerals.

 Bio Ox
In a preferred embodiment, over 90 percent of the metal sulfides oxidized in the anaerobic reactor are oxidized by ferric ions produced by the aerobic step of the process and over 90 percent of the elemental sulfur produced during oxidation of the metal sulfides is oxidized by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria therein.
After the desired degree of oxidation of the metal sulfides is achieved (typically 50 to 80 percent), the slurry is discharged to a solids/liquid separation zone of the upflow reactor or to a separate unit such as a thickener.
A portion of the dissolved sulfides is used to precipitate excess metals in the solution as metal sulfides, a portion is used to produce a complexing solution for extraction of precious metals and a portion is oxidized (preferably biologically) to produce elemental sulfur.

 Safety Bulletins: Acids, Hydroxides and Sulfides
Sulfides of different kinds are used in photography, with sodium sulfide and polysulfide most often used in toning processes.
The fumes of sulfide solution are very noxious, but when a sulfide contacts an acid, the gas generated by the reaction is not only evil-smelling, it is an exceptionally powerful poison.
The gas, hydrogen sulfide, is as active as hydrogen cyanide, and should be treated with equal respect.

 Minerals of the Cu-S system from the Logatchev field (Mid-Atlantic Ridge)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Two principal associations of copper sulfides are recognized on the base of relations of minerals studied and their termical and chemical stability: the early relict (high temperature) association and the late major (low temperature) one.
The rare copper sulfide relicts of this association were only preserved now because they were immediately undergone by the sea water action after their deposition causing the formation of secondary copper sulfides.
The sequence of non-stoichiometric sulfide formation observed in samples is close to that obtained in the experimental leaching of copper from chalcopyrite under the acid condition (Kosiak and Levin 1980; Witheside and Goble 1986) and reflects a decrease of the copper activity and increase of oxidizing potencial in the mineral-forming system.

 Fossil replacements by sulfides
Subsequently, an electron diffraction photograph made of the Trigonocarpus clay was compared with those of known dickite and kaolinite and found to substantiate Grawe's report that a mixture of dickite and kaolinite was present.
The association of dickite with sulfides is interesting in view of other Missouri occurrences.
Tarr interpreted the occurrence of dickite as indicative of hydrothermal solutions which brought in the sulfides, and Allen accepted a hydrothermal origin for it, thus affording "evidence.

 The Mineral Gallery - Sulfides Class
The majority of sulfides are metallic, opaque, generally sectile, soft to average in hardness and they have high densities, fl or dark colored streaks and an igneous origin.
This is a large segment of the sulfide class whose difference from the other sulfides lies in the position of the semi-metal ions.
In most ordinary sulfides that contain a semi-metal such as antimony, arsenic or bismuth, they substitute in the sulfur positions, but in sulfosalts they substitute for the metal ions and bond with the sulfurs.

 Pennsylvania Geological Survey: Acid Map – Map Text
The abundance and distribution of sulfides in the Appalachian plateaus are often related to depositional environment, whereas the sulfides in the Ridge and Valley physiographic province have been more affected by Alleghanian structural features (faults, fractures, lineaments, etc.) and fluid movement.
Dark shales, sulfide mineralized areas, fractured rocks, and rocks with little calcareous material are zones that should be considered as having the potential to produce AD in the Ridge and Valley physiographic province.
Concentrated sulfide mineralization may be evident on the surface in the form of oxidized pyrite, leaving behind various iron oxide minerals as gossan.

 sulfides
Sulfides are minerals that conbine metallic cations (+) with a sulfur anion (S-) This is an important class of minerals because it includes the majority of the ore minerals.
Polymorphism is the ability of a specific chemical substance to crystallize in more than one configuration, which is dependent upon changes in temperature, pressure, or both.
The sulfides, pyrite/marcasite, are very similar in appearance and difficult to distinguish in hand specimen although they do have different crystal systems and can vary in habit (Encyclopedia of Minerals).

 Mineralogy-101: Environ. & Assoc. - Sulfides by Alan Plante on 6/01/2001
Fault zone deposits of massive sulfides (whether along thrust faults or typical high angle faults, normal or reverse) are pretty much self-explanatory: Hydrothermal fluids rich in metals and sulfur coursing through the sheared rocks of fault zones deposit sulfide minerals as ore bodies along those faults.
And massive sulfides usually carry a tiny percentage of silver and gold — though rarely (if ever…) in sufficient concentrations to be profitable on their own; as miners learned (to their dismay) when they tried to develop gold and silver mines on these deposits.
In places the sulfides are overshadowed by metallic oxides — particularly hematite, magnetite, and a bewildering array of manganese oxides that are damn near impossible to identify without high-tech lab equipment.
