Surface Mineralogy of Oxidized Pyrite by Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans

Sulfide oxidation by microbial activities play an important role in the release of heavy metals. An important source of contamination and formation of AMD is the heavy metals convey to soil, rivulet and groundwater. Pyrite is a commonly sulfide minerals in mine wastes, so it is vitally to prove up the microbial oxidation process.
