Electrochemical Study of Galena Weathering in NaCl Solution: Kinetics and Environmental Implications

Exploitation of seafloor massive sulfide deposits exposes galena and other metal sulfides to weathering factors. Galena weathering process leads to release of toxic metals into the water column. Although galena weathering has an impact on the environment, the mechanisms and kinetics of galena oxidat...
