In addition, small amounts of gypsum and residual pyrite were observed in the SS sample (Fig. S5), confirming that gypsum is a relatively stable sulfate in weakly alkaline seawater and that pyrite is galvanically protected as a result of a high rest potential relative to other common sulfide minerals during the oxidation process (Fallon et al ...

Remember that the most common minerals in Earth's crust are the silicate minerals. Many silicate minerals form in igneous or metamorphic rocks. The minerals that form at the highest temperatures and pressures are the least stable at the surface. Clay is stable at the surface and chemical weathering converts many minerals to clay (figure 6).

The term bioleaching refers to the conversion of an insoluble metal (usually a metal sulfide, e.g., CuS, NiS, ZnS) into a soluble form (usually the metal sulfate, e.g., CuSO 4, NiSO 4, ZnSO 4).As the metal is extracted into water, this process is called bioleaching. Because this process involves oxidation, it may also be termed biooxidation.
