Kinetics of Arsenic(III) Oxidation by Iron(III) Catalyzed by Pyrite in the Presence of Thiobacillus-Ferrooxidans
A simple kinetic model of As(III) oxidation by Fe(III) in the presence of pyrite and Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is described based on the stoichiometry of the reaction and bioproduction of Fe(III). The environmental consequences of this reaction were considered.
