Bio-mediated synthesis of monodisperse hematite nanoparticles from pyrite
Acidianus spp. a thermophilic bacteria which can oxidize sulphide minerals was used to oxidize pyrite, FeS2 resulting in the production of acidic ferric sulphate solutions. The ferric sulphate solutions were aged through a forced hydrolysis process at different pH conditions to yield a variety of...
