Surface Oxidation of Pyrite as a Function of pH
Pyrite, the most abundant metal sulfide at the surface of Earth, plays a key role in many processes such as acid mine drainage, redox cycling of metals at oxic-anoxic boundaries of lake bottom, and degradation of pollutants. The oxidation of pyrite was studied in batch experiments over a large range of pH (2.5−12), with trace oxygen. …
Flotation of Gold and Gold-Bearing Ores

Pyrite | Earth Sciences Museum | University of Waterloo
Pyrite seldom forms in fresh-water environments. The formation of pyrite crystals depends mainly on the iron content of the sediment. The process of pyrite formation in sediments results from the action of bacteria, which reduce sulphate ions (dissolved in the pore water) to sulphide. If there is iron present, iron sulphide crystals begin to grow.
