New Findings on Mineral Processing Described by Investigators at Guangxi University First-principles Study On the Adsorption Structure of Water Molecules On a Pyrite (100) Surface

摘要

2021 APR 16 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Mining & Minerals Daily Daily - Fresh data on Mineral Processing are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Nanning, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The hydration structure of water molecule adsorption at different coverages of a monolayer on a pyrite (100) surface were simulated using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The results demonstrate that the Fe-O interaction weakens and the adsorption energy per water molecule decreases with increasing water coverage, except at a monolayer coverage of 12/12 (i.e., full coverage)."
