irb800 mechanics of pyrite reduction

The mechanism of the initial steps of pyrite (100) surface oxidation was investigated in detail by means of density functional theory/plane-wave calculations. Pyrite oxidation is related to many environmental and technological issues, and its mechanism has not been completely understood. A chemical picture of the pyrite oxidation process in the …

Pyrite oxidation is an electrochemical process that consists of three distinct steps, as illustrated in Figure 1. These three steps are the (1) cathodic reaction, (2) electron transport, and (3) anodic reaction. Each step will be discussed separately to simplify this presentation, but the steps must occur more or less simultaneously in the ...

Pyrite, or iron disulfide, is the most common sulfide mineral on the Earth's surface and is widespread through the geological record. Because sulfides are mainly produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in modern sedimentary environments, microorganisms are assumed to drive the formation of iron sulfides, in particular, pyrite. However, the exact …

The rates of pyrite oxidation by Cr (VI) from pH 2.0 to 11.0 were found to be zero-order with respect to the concentration of initial Cr (VI) and second order with respect to the ratio of pyrite surface area to solution volume. The activation energy of the Cr (VI) reduction in the temperature range of 10–50 °C was 73 kJ/mol.

Pyrite cinder is a solid by-product in the sulfuric acid production (Fig. 1), which contains Al 2 O 3, SiO 2, CaSO 4 and Fe 2 O 3 [27], [28].The Fe 2 O 3 and CaSO 4 in pyrite cinder can be used as active metal oxides to provide lattice oxygen. The source of pyrite cinder is sufficient, and the annual yield of pyrite cinder is about 10 million tons in …

Abstract. Pyrite (FeS 2) has a very low solubility and therefore has historically been considered a sink for iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) and unavailable to biology in the absence of oxygen and oxidative weathering.Anaerobic methanogens were recently shown to reduce FeS 2 and assimilate Fe and S reduction products to meet nutrient …

At pH ∼7 and 80 °C, magnetite was transformed to pyrite within only 19 days, with faster rates in the presence of polysulfides, which formed from the sulfide-mediated reduction of Fe(III) and ...

Refractory sulphidic ore with gold captured in pyrite has motivated researchers to find efficient means to break down pyrite to make gold accessible and, ultimately, improve gold extraction. Thus, the dissolution of pyrite was investigated to understand the mechanism and find the corresponding kinetics in a nitric acid solution. …

Capture of Mo by FeS2 is an important sink for marine Mo. X-ray spectroscopy has shown that Mo forms Mo-Fe-S cuboidal clusters on pyrite. Reduction of MoVI must occur to stabilize these structures.

First, FeS 2 was crushed and screened into 40–80 mesh powder, before placing the sifted FeS 2 and Al 2 O 3 in an oven and dried at 105 °C for 6–12 h. Then, the appropriate amount of dried FeS 2 powder and Al 2 O 3 was placed in a mixer for 20 min to ensure the two powders were …

Fig. 1. The pyrite oxidation reaction consists of three steps. In the first step, a cathodic reaction transfers electrons from the surface of the pyrite to the aqueous oxidant species, usually O 2 or Fe 3+. The second step transports charge from the site of an anodic reaction to replace the electron lost from the cathodic site.
