Biooxidation of Arsenopyritic and Pyritic Containing Gold
Being the most common sulfide minerals, Arsenopyrite and pyrite under oxidizing conditions breaks down to release acids of As and S into the environment, leading to acid mine drainage with high concentrations of dissolved As. In this research, the dissolution of gold ore (with FeS2 and FeAsS as the main sulfides) from Tianli gold mine, Liaoning province, China was investigated.
