Description:   The results of a project designed to give a quantitative analysis of the interralated elementary chemical and biological processes responsible for pyrite oxidation and acid rock drainage were presented. A survey was given of experimental results on various chemical, physical and biological aspects of pyrite oxidation to be used for the quantitative model. Various coupled processes were analysed and the kinetics of elementary chemical reactions and bacterial processes were reviewed.
Notes: Summary in English and French.
