Abstract

The oxidation of pyrite in aqueous systems is a complex biogeochemical process involving several redox reactions and microbial catalysis. This paper reviews the kinetic data on pyrite oxidation, compares available data on the inorganic vs. microbial oxidative mechanisms and describes the occurrence of mineral products resulting from pyrite oxidation. Although oxygen is the overall oxidant, kinetic data suggests that ferric iron is the direct oxidant in acid systems and that temperature, pH, surface area, and the presence of iron and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria can greatly affect the rate of reaction. The vast amount of literature on the microbial and geochemical investigations on this subject have limited usefulness for understanding natural systems. Additional research is needed on the hydrologic, geologic and microbiologic characteristics of field sites where oxidation occurs. The acid water resulting from pyrite oxidation may precipitate a large suite of soluble and insoluble iron minerals depending on pH, degree of oxidation, moisture content, and solution composition.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
