Effect of temperature and illumination on pyrite oxidation between pH 2 and 6

<p/> <p>The effect of heat and illumination with visible light on the oxidation of pyrite with dissolved molecular oxygen in solutions between pH 2 and 6 has been investigated using a combination of surface science experiments and batch oxidation experiments. The rate of the oxidation of...
