Suppression Of Pyrite Oxidation With Iron-Phosphate Coating: Technique For Prevention Of Acid Mine Drainage, Chantra Tongcumpou, Nipon Kongmak, Chakkaphan Sutthirat
Applied Environmental Research
This study was aimed to evaluate the feasibility of an iron-phosphate coating on pyrite surfaces for inhibiting an oxidation that is expected to prevent acid mine drainage (AMD). Prior to the experiments, pyrite samples (av. 425-850 µm in size) were mixed with sand (av. 1-2 mm in size) with a ratio of 1:4. Coating process was conducted in batch experiments that were treating with various concentrations of coating solutions, i.e., hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), sodium acetate (NaAc) and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) at different contact times. Subsequently, leaching test was performed in columns (10 mm in diameter) using 0.145 M of …
