Arsenopyrite oxidation – A review
Abstract Arsenopyrite (FeAsS) is the most common As-bearing sulfide mineral. Under oxidising conditions, such as those in mine waste systems, it breaks down to release acids of As and S into the environment, resulting in acid mine drainage with high concentrations of dissolved As.

Mechano-chemical oxidation of arsenopyrite
Abstract This paper presents the results from the investigation of arsenopyrite oxidation via mechano-chemical activation, using a stirred mill. Water and hydrogen peroxide were chosen as the lixiviant and oxidant, respectively, and maintained at a relatively low temperature (50 °C).

Electrochemical study of arsenopyrite weathering
Cyclic voltammograms and capacitance measurements are presented to characterize the mineral response at relatively moderate environmental conditions, pH 4.5 and T = 25 °C. The experiments involve examining the rates of oxidation and the surface morphology of arsenopyrite, which is oxidized abiotically.

Oxidation of arsenopyrite in bacterial ferric solutions
In this study the oxidation of arsenopyrite in bacterial ferric solutions is examined. Leaching tests were conducted in air-stirred pachuca reactors in order to define the major factors influencing the oxidation of arsenopyrite and to underline the importance of indirect leaching of the mineral by bacterially generated acid ferric sulphate solutions ...

The ferric leaching kinetics of arsenopyrite [PDF]
In this investigation batch, ferric leaching experiments were carried out in a 100 ml jacketed vessel maintained at 25°C. The parameters varied during the course of the experimental program included the initial redox potential, the total iron concentration, the solids concentration and the pH of the leaching solution.
