Abstract
In general, the consensus of the group was that the physical properties play a very important role in the oxidation of pyrite mainly because of the following two reasons: (1) physical properties are regulating mass/diffusion transport of atmospheric oxygen into the overburden, and (2) physical properties include particle size which affects specific surface (metres squared per gram). The latter influences fate of pyrite oxidation products, including Fe3+ which is the main pyrite electron acceptor.
