In acid solution, pyrite gives reproducible anodic current3v̄oltage curves with Tafel slopes 95 ± 10 mV. There is no influence of pyrite semiconducting properties on the kinetics of the anode process. This process, as determined by coulometry at constant potential and product analysis, is a combination of the reactions and The sulphate route dominates over the potential range accessible at ambient temperature, and the sulphate yield increases linearly with potential. Data from other sources suggest that sulphate yield at fixed potential may be independent of temperature. Evidence from studies of the electrochemical behaviour of sulphur and its compounds leads to the conclusion that elemental sulphur is not an intermediate in the sulphate route. A mechanism for sulphate formation involving adsorbed oxygen-containing intermediates is postulated and the kinetics analysed under Temkin adsorption conditions. The Tafel slope and pH dependence suggest that the second electron transfer step is rate-determining.
