Factors influencing the moist oxidation of iron pyrites

Factors influencing the moist oxidation of iron pyrites

Experiments were conducted to study the rate of oxidation of pyrite under conditions of varying pH, temperature and oxygen concentration. The rate of oxidation appears to be slightly increased below pH 3.00. In the basic range the oxidation is retarded as pH 9.00 is approached. Increases in temperat...

The rate of oxidation appears to be slightly increased below pH 3.00. In the basic range the oxidation is retarded as pH 9.00 is approached. Increases in temperatures cause increases in the rate of oxidation of pyrites. Corresponding decreases in the pH values are also noted. The rate of oxidation is increased by increaseing the concentration of oxygen. From these results, the possible use of pyrite in alkaline soils in the prevention of chlorosis caused by iron deficiency seems feasible. 1948-05-01T07:00:00Z text https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/8373 http://lib.byu.edu/about/copyright/ Theses and Dissertations BYU ScholarsArchive Pyrites Iron ores Chemistry
