Chemistry | Pyritic impurity in coal, occurring as a spheroidal or irregular mass. Source: European Union. (references) |
Mining | A. An accumulation of sulfur in the form of iron pyrites sometimes found in coal seams, often hard enough to break the bits on cutting machines b. A concretionary form of the sulfide of iron occurring as both pyrite and marcasite. This material seems to crystallize or grow within the coal as a result of the action of waters bearing sulfuric acid acting upon compounds of iron. This iron is then taken into solution as iron sulfates and subsequently converted to sulfides that form into the sulfur bal. (references) |
