The effect of trace element content on the rate of biotic and abiotic pyrite oxidation

Lead Institution

University of California, Riverside

Principal Investigator

Timothy Lyons

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

The oxidation of pyrite is a common source of toxic trace elements and acid generation in many contaminated systems. A key component in understanding the potential threat to ecosystems and possible…

The mechanism of pyrite formation: Implications for metal mobility during iron-sulfide transformations

Lead Institution

University of California, Riverside

Principal Investigator

Timothy Lyons

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Sulfidic sediments are a key sink for many potentially toxic trace elements in marine settings, with much of these elements ultimately being concentrated into the mineral pyrite. Pyrite can be an…
