Galvanic interactions between sulfide minerals have significant effects on their electrochemistry and flotation behavior. The effects of galena and pyrite on their collectorless flotation behavior have been studied in this paper. The results showed that galvanic interaction between galena and pyrite would occur when they were mixed. In the galvanic-couple , pyrite forms a cathode due to the higher rest potential, and is reduced, which results in its floatability decreased; while galena forms a anode due to the lower rest potential, and is oxidized, which results in its floatability increased.

Abiotic reduction of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) in the presence of sulfide minerals has been investigated under anoxic conditions at 35°C. 2,4-DNT was abiotically reduced to 4-amino-2-nitrotoluene (4-A-2-NT) and 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene (2-A-4-NT) in the presence of high concentration of sulfide (0.84 mM). No abiotic reduction of 2,4-DNT was observed in the presence of low sulfide concentration (0.42 mM). The rate and the extent of the abiotic reduction of 2,4-DNT were increased with an increase in sulfide concentration. Sulfide served as an electron donor for the reduction of 2,4-DNT. The 2-nitro group was preferentially reduced, making the 2-A-4-NT:4-A-2-NT ratio in the final products 2:1. The addition of iron, nickel, and cobalt minerals significantly enhanced the abiotic reduction. The FeS, NiS, and CoS solids formed in the serum bottles catalyzed the reduction of 2,4-DNT preferentially to 4-A-2-NT. MnS and CuS solids also catalyzed the reduction of 2,4-DNT to 4-A-2-NT, but did not change the overall reduction of 2,4-DNT. However, the presence of calcium, zinc, and magnesium minerals impeded 2,4-DNT reduction. The calcium, zinc, and magnesium ions have a high affinity to sulfide, inactivating sulfide as an electron donor for the chemical reduction of 2,4-DNT.

Arsenopyrite (FeAsS) is the most common primary arsenic-sulfide mineral in nature, and its oxidation causes the release of toxic arsenic (As). To mitigate these problems, carrier-microencapsulation (CME), a technique that passivates sulfide minerals by covering their surfaces with a protective coating, has been developed. In the previous study of authors on CME, Al-catecholate complex significantly suppressed arsenopyrite oxidation via electron donating effects of the complex and the formation of an Al-oxyhydroxide coating. For the application of this technique to real tailings, however, further study should be carried out to elucidate long-term effectiveness of the coating to suppress arsenopyrite oxidation. This study investigates the stability of the coating formed on arsenopyrite by Al-based CME using weathering tests. The Al-oxyhydroxide coating suppressed arsenopyrite oxidation until about 50 days of the experiment, but after this, the amounts of oxidation products like dissolved S and As increased due to the gradual dissolution of the coating with time as a result of the low pH of leachate. This suggests that co-disposal of Al-based CME-treated arsenopyrite with minerals that have appropriate neutralization potentials, so that the pH is maintained at around 5 to 8 where Al-oxyhydroxide is stable.
