Pyrite is an abundant mineral, and its dissolution is important in the formation of acid mine drainage and the extraction of metals. It has also been considered as a candidate material for electrochemical solar cells. We studied the anodic processes on pyrite in...
A quantitative description of galvanic interactions between sulphide minerals based on thermody- namicandkineticparameters hasbeendeveloped. Avoltagebalanceoverthegalvaniccoupleprovides the basis for a mathematicaldescriptionof the magnitudeof the galvanicinteraction....
The dissolution of pyrite is important in the geochemical cycling of iron and sulphur, in the formation of acid mine drainage, and in the extraction of metals by bacterial leaching. Many researchers have studied the kinetics of dissolution, and the rate of dissolution...
