Some information about pyrite powder is as follows:

(1) Genesis and Occurrence: Pyrite powder is produced in copper-nickel sulfide deposits, silica deposits, various hydrothermal deposits, and sedimentary rocks formed under anoxic conditions related to basic ultrabasic rocks. It is easily decomposed on the ground and forms hydroxides with sulfates such as bauxite and goethite.

(2) Identification characteristics: distinguish it from chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite (magnetic) by its crystal form, crystal plane stripes, color, and hardness.

(3) Main purpose: more than 85% of pyrite is used in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, and then refined sulfur. It can be used comprehensively when Au, Ag, Co, and Ni are abundant. As the most common sulfide mineral, its shape, composition, structure, thermoelectricity and other characteristics have important standard types and mining significance.

(4) Main origin: The world's famous origins are Spain, Czech Republic, Slovakia, the United States and China. The proven reserves of pyrite in my country rank among the top in the world. Famous producing areas include Guangdong Yingde and Yunfu, Anshan Anshan, Gansu Baiyin, etc. Pyrite is the most widely distributed sulfide in the earth's crust.

(5) Humanistic story: Pyrite is also a very cheap ancient gem. In the British Victorian era, people liked to decorate this kind of gem with a special shape and ornamental value. In addition to polishing gems, you can also make bases for gems, jade, and other crafts. In modern life, pyrite is also worn daily as an accessory.

(6) Identification method: 1. The lines on the unglazed white porcelain plate can be detected. The texture of gold ore is golden yellow, and the texture of pyrite is green and black. 2. The proportion of natural gold is 15.6-18.3, but pyrite is only 4.9-5.2.

The above is some information about pyrite powder, thanks for reading.
