Chalcopyrite is one of the most important copper minerals; however, the extracted efficiency of chalcopyrite is still not satisfactory in hydrometallurgy owing to its high lattice energy which leads to its low dissolution kinetics. To overcome the difficulties, many advanced technologies have been developed, including the selection of high effectively bacteria, the inhibition of the passivation film adhered onto the minerals surface, and the maintenance of solution redox potential under an optimum range. Up to date, considerable researches on the first two terms have been summarized, while the overview of the last term has been rarely reported. Based on corresponding works in recent years, key trends and roles of solution redox potential in copper hydrometallurgy, including its definition, effect and maintenance, have been introduced in this review.

黄铜矿是最重要的铜矿产之一。然而，由于黄铜矿的高晶格能导致其低溶解动力学，因此其提取效率在湿法冶金中仍然不能令人满意。为了克服这些困难，已经开发出许多先进技术，包括选择高效细菌，抑制粘附在矿物表面的钝化膜以及将溶液氧化还原电势保持在最佳范围内。迄今为止，已经总结了对前两个术语的大量研究，而对最后一个术语的概述却鲜有报道。根据近年来的相应工作，溶液氧化还原电位在铜湿法冶金中的主要趋势和作用，包括其定义，作用和维护，
