Introduction: Although magnetite crystals in ALH84001 have received considerable attention in the literature as a potential biomarker, the sulfide component is important because the coexistence of magnetite and sulfides has also been suggested as a marker for past biogenic activity [1]. Very little research, however, has focused on the formation of sulfides in ALH84001. Early research on the su...

A pyrrhotite and sulfur-circulating packed bed reactor (PS-CPBR) was constructed to study the removal process mechanism of NO3−-N PO43−-P with different electron donors. The results showed that performance mixed donors (pyrrhotite sulfur) superior single donor (pyrrhotite). optimum conditions in PS-CPBR were a hydraulic retention time (HRT) 12 h C/N 0, average efficiency 100% 86.39%. sulfur abl...

Massive Zn-Cu-Fe sulfide deposits at the Garon Lake Mine occur in three sulfide lenses in a group of metamorphosed rhyolite crystal tuffs, metasediments and basalts. The major ore minerals are sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. Minor associated silicates are actinolite, tremolite, chlorite, albite and quartz. Rounded detrital pyrite, magnetite and chert grains and diagenetic p...
