ادامه مطلبAbstract. Oxidation of sulfide minerals releases sulfuric acid and dissolved metals, with iron sulfides pyrite (FeS 2) and pyrrhotite (Fe (1−x) S) recognized as the most common acid-forming minerals. Several factors control the oxidation rate including: the oxidant type, sulfide morphology, microbial action, and trace element contents.

ادامه مطلبA key step in the reactions of all the sulfide minerals is that they release iron as ferrous ion (Fe 2+). Oxygen present in the water can then oxidize Fe 2+ back to Fe 3+: [ce{2 Fe^2+ + frac{1}{2} O2 + 2 H+ rightarrow 2 Fe^3+ + H2O} tag{8}] This Fe 3+ can again react with the mineral surface. Hence, the presence of oxygen greatly ...

ادامه مطلبAcid mine drainage (AMD) is produced by the chemical reaction of sulfide ore and associated minerals with air and water. This reaction (as shown below) illustrates how sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) and iron sulfate (FeSO 4 ) are produced when the iron sulfide mineral pyrite (FeS 2 ) reacts with water: FeS 2 + H 2 O + 3.5O 2 = H 2 SO 4 + FeSO 4.

ادامه مطلبAfter that, some pine oil is applied. The sulphide ore particles are wetted with pine oil in the tank, while the gangue particles are wetted with water. After that, the air is circulated through the mixture. This causes the water in the tank to agitate, which allows the sulphide ore particles to cling to the oil and rise to the surface as froth.
