Kinetics of pyrite oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in phosphoric acid solutions

The kinetics of pyrite oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in phosphoric acid solutions were investigated. The effects of stirring, temperature, and particle size, as well as of the hydrogen peroxide and phosphoric acid concentrations were studied. The effect of phosphate ion addition was also examined....

description The kinetics of pyrite oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in phosphoric acid solutions were investigated. The effects of stirring, temperature, and particle size, as well as of the hydrogen peroxide and phosphoric acid concentrations were studied. The effect of phosphate ion addition was also examined. The oxidation kinetics was found to follow a shrinking core model, with the surface chemical reaciton as the rate-controlling step. This is in accord with an activation energy of 57 kJ mol-1 and a linear relationship between the rate constant and the reciprocal of the particle radius. The reaction order with respect to the hydrogen peroxide concentration was found to be equal to unity. Variation of the phosphoric acid concentration had practically no effect on the rate of pyrite oxidation. Addition of the phosphate ion in the relatively low concentration range (0.005-0.1 mol dm-3) had a highly negative influence on the rate of pyrite oxidation, indicating that this ion has an inhibiting effect on the oxidation of pyrite by hydrogen peroxide.
