jarosite and ferrous-sulfide

Jarosite is one of the iron oxyhydroxysulfate minerals that are commonly found in acid mine drainage (AMD) systems. In natural environments, phosphate and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) may be coupled to jarosite reduction and transformation. In this research, the effect of phosphate on jarosite reduction by SRB and the associated secondary mineral formation was studied using batch experiments. The results indicated that Fe
