Description

Kinetics of the roasting process of pyrite minerals are studied by observing Moessbauer spectra and X-ray diffraction of pyrite minerals roasted at (610 +- 5) 0C for time periods t = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 15.0, 30.0, and 60.0 minutes. These studies indicate an optimum time period (t) for an efficient transformation of pyrite into the magnetic oxides α-Fe2O3 and γFe2O3. (author)
