Sep 17, 2019· Pyrite (FeS 2) is the most common sulfide mineral in coal and a major source of the sulfur in coal.Pyrite can form in peat while the peat is accumulating, or can form in peats from the introduction of sulfate (SO 4) into the peat if the peat was buried by marine waters (such pyrite is called syngenetic or authigenic pyrite).Within the buried peat, the sulfate is reduced to sulfide (S 2), which
MoreDec 15, 2016· The pyrite from coal mining in southern Santa Catarina (Brazil) is rich in other ferrous compounds, sulfates and oxides according to the infrared spectra. The high silicon content, together with elements such as aluminum, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese and sodium, suggest that the material has a sandy and clay fraction.
MoreGenerating pyritic coal dust. Pyrite in coal can be present in a number of geological circumstances. It may be finely dispersed throughout the coal or present as coatings on cleat planes and in certain circumstances present as layers or lenses parallel to the coal banding (Figure 2a).
MoreSep 01, 2019· In order to uncover the effect of pyrite on the tendency of coal to spontaneously combust, thermal analysis was carried out to characterize the reaction process of coal with different pyrite contents at four heating rates of 5, 10, 15, and 20 K min −1 in air flow from 25 to 900 °C. The Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method was applied to calculate the activation energy of coal with different pyrite
MorePyrite has a significant effect on the spontaneous combustion of coal. The presence of pyrite can change the propensity of coal towards spontaneous combustion.
MoreAn example would be Acid Mine Drainage. Acidic water can flow out of abandoned coal mines. Mining has xposed rocks which contain the sulphur-bearing mineral, Pyrite. This mineral reacts to air and water to form sulphuric acid. When it rains, the diluted acid gets into rivers and streams and can even seep into underground sources of water.
MoreDisruption of coal strata during mining accelerates pyrite oxidation by exposing greater surface areas of the reactive mineral to weathering. Acidic water in a coal mine in the Niangziguan spring watershed is related to this process and is characterized by low pH (min. 2.52) and high sulfate (max. 4100 mg/I), iron (max. 257 mg/I), and hardness (max. 2274.45 mg/I).
MoreAug 26, 2010· Acid mine drainage (AMD) occurs when metal sulfides, most commonly pyrite, are exposed to and react with air and water. When water flows over or through sulfur-bearing mine tailings, a chemical reaction occurs between the water and rocks resulting in metal-rich water. AMD typically has a bright orange, yellow, or bownish-red color to it.
MoreApparently, pyrite has a positive effect on coal oxidation. Nevertheless, the relationship is a little complicated. With the addition of pyrite content in coals, the released CO during spontaneous combustion increases at the beginning and decreases after exceeding 5 %. That is to say, a maximum impact is reached when the pyrite content in coal

MoreVtfhen all the pyrite has been consumed through oxidation, the quality of water in the spoil probably will begin to improve. How long this might take is not known. INTRODUCTION Strip mining of coal has a significant effect on the near-surface environment because overburden, the material above the coal
Morequantify any reactive pyrite contribution to coal mine heatings in a systematic and scientific manner. In 1992, the US Bureau of Mines recognised there was a deficiency in existing testing techniques and recommended that these would need to be changed to assess the effect of pyrite
MoreHarmful effects from coal dust inhalation have been well documented, but the underlying causes and mechanisms of CWP are still debatable. Several recent epidemiological studies in the United States have shown a general correlation exists between the concentration of pyrite (FeS 2) within coal and the prevalence of CWP in miners. The possible
MoreAs compared with the raw coal sample, the effects of water and pyrite on the microstructure of anthracite were studied. The results indicate that the oxygen-containing functional group of coal

MorePyrite is common along the borders of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, in the northern part of the Upper Mississippi River Valley lead-zinc mining district. There it occurs as vein deposits and as a disseminated replacement mineral in the region’s widespread Paleozoic carbonate rock layers.
MoreThe catalytic activity of pyrite ore from coal mining was studied in the direct liquefaction process of high volatile bituminous coal from the south of Brazil. The process consisted of mixing pulverized coal with tetralin in the presence of catalyst. It was possible to obtain fractions of
MoreThe mineral pyrite (FeS 2) and other sulfur containing minerals are common. Also common is the occurrence of these minerals in the geologic strata in the vicinity of coal seams. Mining coal inevitably involves exposing these pyritic materials to oxygen and water. In deep mines, these materials are exposed in the voids created by the mining process.
MoreCoal mine drainage negatively affected leaf litter decomposition independently of leaf litter identity; no significant effect was found for wood decomposition, but sample size was low. Considering metal mine drainage, arsenic mines had a stronger negative effect on leaf litter decomposition than gold or pyrite
