The technique invo1ved leachingpyrite particles with a solution containing low concentrations of phosphate and hydrogen peroxide. Duringthe leaching process, the iron released from pyrite by hydrogen proxide was precipitated by phosphate as aferric phosphate coating. This coating was shown to be able to effectively prevent Pyrite from oxidation and itcould be established at the expense of only surface portions of Pyrite. The emergence of this technique couldprovide a unique potential route for abating acid mine drainage and reclaiming sulfide-containing degradedmining land.展开更多
