This study aimed to investigate the oxidation mechanism of pyrite crystallographic direction by cutting pyrite samples to expose their (100), (110), and (111) planes. Differences in the oxidation rates of pyrite planes in acid solution were determined. The morphological changes of pyrite were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and hyperdepth-3D microscopy.

Pyrite Group. The isometric (cubic) polymorph of orthorhombic marcasite.Compare UM1997-43-S:Fe. Pyrite is a very common mineral (also one of the most common natural sulfides, and the most common disulfide), found in a wide variety of geological formations from sedimentary deposits to hydrothermal veins and as a constituent of metamorphic rocks.The brassy-yellow metallic colour of pyrite has in ...
It describes the formation of pyrite, the processes involved in its oxidation and the various ways in which consequential expansion takes place. For the first time in the literature it discusses the way that buildings can be raised above their supporting foundation walls by the expansion of pyritiferous fill which has been used beneath ground ...
Abstract. Three species of thermophilic archaebacteria of the genera Sulfolobus (Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and S. solfataricus) and Acidianus (Acidianus brierleyi) were tested for their ability to oxidize pyrite and to grow autotrophically on pyrite, to explore their …
Pyrite (FeS 2) commonly occurs in the Earth's surface environments 1.Great efforts have been made for the past decades to understand the mechanisms and kinetics of pyrite oxidation 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14, which is the driving force leading to the widespread ecological degradation caused by the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) and acid sulfate soils (ASS) 15,16,17.

A series of thermodynamic calculations are performed for the roasting of pyrite in changing temperatures and atmospheres. The relationship between ΔrGθ and temperature in the range of T = 300–1200 K shows that, depending on the atmosphere it is in, reactions of pyrolysis, oxidation or reduction can occur. Both the pyrolysis of pyrite in an inert atmosphere and its oxidation by oxygen …
1/31/2019· The mineral pyrite is considered the most common form of the sulfide minerals. Its oxidation is a very important process in nature, which involves in the redox recycling of iron. However, because of the growing need for the industrial production, sulfide oxidation produces more and more acid mine (or …
4/2/2019· Pyrite is the most abundant iron−sulfur mineral in sediments. Over geological times, its burial controlled oxygen levels in the atmosphere and sulfate concentrations in seawater. However, the mechanism of pyrite formation in sediments is still being debated. We show that lithotrophic microorganisms can mediate the transformation of FeS and H2S to FeS2 at ambient temperature if …
10/19/2011· As neither inorganic pyrite oxidation nor CO 2-driven weathering can produce levels of acidity below pH ∼ 4.5 (see Supplementary Information section 4), Cr …
The oxidation of pyrite (FeS2) contained in unsaturated aquifer sediment was studied by sediment incubation in gas impermeable polymer laminate bags. Reaction progress was followed over a period of nearly 2 months by monitoring the gas composition within the laminate bag. The gas phase in the incubation bags became depleted in O2 and enriched in CO2 and N2 and was interpreted as due to …
Sulfuric acid resulting from pyrite oxidation is a significant contributor to the environmental problem of acid rock drainage, which implies that increasing solution pH accelerates pyrite oxidation (Chandra and Gerson, 2011a, Heidel and Tichomirowa, 2011). Isotope studies indicate the preferential incorporation of oxygen from water molecules ...
Pyrite oxidation is an important process in the geochemical cycles of iron and sulfur.[1, 2] In aerobic near-surface aqueous environments, pyrite is thermodynamically unstable and oxidizes.In most aqueous environments, the oxidant for the reaction is either dissolved molecular oxygen [reaction (1)] or dissolved ferric iron [reaction (2)].

reduction and oxidation caused by shifting of soil materials between anaerobic and aerobic conditions. The high crystallinity of jarosite and the low pH values (3–5) due to a somewhat higher landscape position support the maturation of the soil material, with almost complete pyrite oxidation and sulfuric acid production.

pyrite stability field indicating that redox conditions were sufficiently reducing to allow for pyrite stability. Thus arsenic is immobilized in pyrite and its concentration in groundwater should be low. During simulation, as the injection/storage-zone water ratio increased, redox conditions became less reducing and pyrite became unstable.
