Introduction. Pyrite, a mineral with a chemical formula of FeS 2, is an iron disulfide, which is usually associated with other sulfides and oxides. It is abundant in the earth's surface, being found in the composition of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, in coal beds and as a replacement mineral in fossils (Klein and Hurlbut, 1993).

The oxidation of iron hydroxide is a long time process, even taking decades. Therefore, iron hydroxide passivation coatings are less effective and cannot completely inhibit pyrite oxidation and AMD generation. 2. Phosphate coatings. In 1980, phosphate lime was first applied to the passivation of pyrite.
