Production of ferric ammonium sulfate (FAS) dodecahydrate from pyrite (FeS2) by Wilson Kobal, Rachel A. Pepper, Jose A. Alarco, Wayde Martens, Sara J. Couperthwaite

“…The primary aim of this work was to investigate the recovery of Fe and S from pyrite materials, using acid leaching methods, to produce ferric ammonium sulfate dodecahydrate (FAS; FeNH4(SO4)2·12H2O), which has applications in water treatment, dye industries and metal fabrication. As pyrite samples contain various minerals, the acid leachates contained impurities, such as Al, Ca, Mn, and therefore optimisation studies to produce FAS from pyrite leachates was undertaken based on type of acid, concentration and residence time for leach and crystallisation stages. …”
