Mineral interactions in a gold mining environment: change in oxidation rate of stibnite as affected by the addition of varying amounts of pyrite in an oxygenated flow through system

It is thought that a significant mechanism of stibnite (Sb2S3) oxidation in mine wastes is through contact with a mineral of greater rest potential (whereby the outer valence shell electrons operate at a higher energy level), such as pyrite (FeS2). The goal of this research is to determine if the ox...
