Dear Kathryn, Great presentation! Do you think the pyrrhotite polytype would make much difference on the rate of dissolution? A small difference would quite possibly be important on an industrial scale. thanks, from Owen Missen (Monash University and Museums Victoria, Melbourne, Australia)
Yes! That is another project I am working on (delayed by lab closure, unfortunately). I'll be looking at dissolution rates of intergown samples of pyrrhotite so the rates can be directly compared. I have some batch data that suggests that different types do dissolve differently, but it's hard to get "pure" polytypes to work with on a batch scale. It's definitely important on an industrial scale, since it could have major implications for mineral extraction or waste treatment!
