This study investigated the role of pyrite bioleaching in the enhancement of arsenopyrite dissolution. At a pyrite to arsenopyrite mass ratio of 1:1, 93.6% of As and 93.0% of Fe were solubilized. The results show that pyrite bio-oxidation can promote arsenopyrite dissolution, enhance S 0 bio-oxidation, and inhibit the formation of jarosites ...
A prime example is arsenopyrite, or iron arsenide sulfide (FeAsS), sometimes called arsenical pyrite. This mineral is composed of 46% arsenic, which is a notorious poison. German geologists used to call it mispickel. The evil "Miss Pickle" develops as well-formed monoclinic, somewhat orthorhombic crystals. These crystals are often striated ...
The recovery of pyrite and arsenopyrite reduced with increasing pH but remained flotation-competent, whereas both minerals were non-flotation-competent after oxidation at pH > 6. XPS revealed that ...

ROS levels in the systems of pyrite-arsenopyrite and single arsenopyrite were evaluated. The cumulative concentrations of HO˙ and (O 2 •)-gradually increased to 3.76 mM and 0.24 mM in the system of pyrite-arsenopyrite mixture and were 1.25- and 1.06-fold (P < 0.05) higher than that in single arsenopyrite, respectively (Fig. 3 d and e

Named in 1847 by Ernst Friedrich Glocker for its composition, a contraction of the antiquated term "arsenical pyrite." Arsenopyrite was known much before 1847 and arsenopyrite, as a name, may be taken as a simple translation of "arsenkies". Arsenopyrite Group. For possible Ni-analogue see Unnamed (Ni,Fe,Co)AsS; see also …
This study investigated the impact of mechanically modified pyrite on the dearsenification of arsenopyrite through bacterial oxidation. Pyrite was mechanically modified using a planetary high-energy ball mill, and the resulting changes in the crystal structure were characterized using particle size analysis, specific surface area …

Arsenopyrite-Pyrite: It attracts plenty of success by combining the metallic essence of Arsenopyrite with the golden glitter of Pyrite. This pair boosts prosperity and financial well-being energies. Arsenopyrite-Fluorapatite: The metallic tones of Arsenopyrite and the brilliant hues of Fluorapatite are said to improve mental clarity and attention.

1. Introduction. Pyrite and arsenopyrite are the most important hosts of native gold in hydrothermal gold deposits (Kreuzer, 2005, Cook et al., 2009).Generally, pyrite is more widely distributed in most hydrothermal gold deposits, although arsenopyrite-dominated gold deposits hosted by volcanic-sedimentary strata have also …
Recently, preoxidation is an effective pretreatment method of refractory gold ore, which has been widely used due to the high desulfurization, arsenic removal, low environmental pollution, and rapid reaction rate. In this paper, we describe the thermodynamic considerations of preoxidation of pyrite and arsenopyrite, the main …
13.2.2.3 Mining and Smelting. Arsenic is mined and occurs with many other metals which are mined. Arsenopyrite is the chief ore of arsenic, and the primary ores for both copper and silver include arsenic-bearing minerals. Arsenic is also typically high in ores for gold, tin, tungsten, and lead. Most rock removed during mining operations is ...
In situ LA-ICP-MS analyses suggest that arsenopyrite of stage I has higher Te and lower Pb, Bi, Au, Ag, and Cu concentrations than arsenopyrite of stage II. Nano-SIMS δ 34 S values of pyrite associated with arsenopyrite of stage I and II fall within two ranges of −7.6 to −1.5‰ and −7.8 to −1.6‰. The presence of titanite and lack of ...
The results indicate that the electrochemical reactivity of pyrite in the arsenopyrite mineral was delayed and displaced to more positive potentials with respect to the …
Abstract. We examined the hypothesis that sulfide drives arsenic mobilization from pyritic black shale by a sulfide–arsenide exchange and oxidation reaction in which sulfide replaces arsenic in arsenopyrite forming pyrite, and arsenide (As−1) is concurrently oxidized to soluble arsenite (As+3). This hypothesis was tested in a series of ...
It is opaque with a bright, metallic luster. Its silver-white to steel-gray color tarnishes to dark gray. Arsenopyrite has a Mohs hardness of 5.5-6.0, distinct cleavage in one direction, and a specific gravity of 5.9-6.2. It occurs most commonly in hydrothermal veins in association with such minerals as quartz, pyrite, and chalcopyrite.
Gold distribution patterns in the arsenopyrite-pyrite assemblage, which probably crystallized toward the end of the Au-forming event, suggest a process of initial scavenging of Au into arsenopyrite and subsequent remobilization of that Au following brittle fracture. Gold expelled from the sulfide lattice during the remobilization event is ...
1. Introduction. Gold ores are considered refractory if gold extraction from a conventional cyanidation process is less than 80 % after fine grinding (Rusanen et al., 2013).Arsenopyrite, along with pyrite, is the principal refractory gold carrier (Chryssoulis and McMullen, 2016).Extraction of gold from sulphide minerals by hydrometallurgical …

Differential flotation of the pyrite–arsenopyrite mixture was carried out by interacting 0.5 g each of the two different minerals, either together or separately, with cells and reagents. This mixture was then transferred to the Hallimond tube and floated as described earlier. Both the floated and settled fractions were analyzed for their ...

The information on arsenopyrite oxidation in this review can be used to suggest a mechanism of arsenopyrite oxidation. As for pyrite oxidation (Rimstidt and Vaughan, 2003), arsenopyrite oxidation is an electrochemical process with three steps: cathodic reaction; electron transport; and anodic reaction. The cathodic reaction involves …

Pyrite readily oxidizes in aerobic conditions with the formation of iron oxides and traces of arsenic. Arsenic is also found associated with phosphate minerals; however, the …
Invisible Au occurrences are closely linked to As distribution. Gold bonding in arsenopyrite, examined by transmission electron microscopy, is shown to be dispersed within the FeAsS crystal structure. Typical growth patterns and As-Au diffusion zoning in pyrite and arsenopyrite may account for the very irregular distribution of Au in these ...
