The oxidation of pyrite was studied by thermal analysis and quenching of the phases formed at different stages of the reaction. The phases were characterized by optical microscopy, SEM, EDAX, XRD and microprobe analyses. The phases found were essentially those predicted assuming thermodynamic and pressure equilibria. The predictions were that (1) below 404 °C hematite would form directly on the pyrite surface whereas at higher temperatures magnetite would intervene, (2) pyrrhotite would become a stable phase above 552 °C, (3) ferrous and ferric sulphates would form in the outer layers at temperatures below 583 and 644 °C respectively. The ignition temperature of pyrite was found to correspond with the onset of pyrrhotite formation. An arrest in some of the TG traces was ascribed to the presence of sulphates, the presence or absence of the arrest depending upon the temperature rise sustained by the sample during oxidation.
