When pyrite is electrolyzed, Mn 2+ is oxidized into Mn 3+ at surface of anode at first. Because the Mn 3+ is a strong oxidizing agent, pyrite is easily oxidized into Fe 3+ and SO 4 2−, while Mn 3+ is reduced into Mn 2+.The reduced Mn 2+ can be oxidized into Mn 3+ at the anodic surface again. Therefore, oxidizing reaction of pyrite is carried …

These particles may be separated from the oxides of iron by washing, and the use of nitric acid, followed by panning, is frequently resorted to in order to detect gold in pyrites. Moreover, although usually invisible, gold can sometimes be seen in unroasted pyrites. As long ago as the year 1874, Richard Daintree and Latta found specimens of ...

The new process has two key steps: firstly decomposition of the pyrite to pyrrhotite and elemental sulphur under inert thermal processing; and secondly rapid leaching of the pyrrhotite in a low temperature and pressure oxidation leach.
