The acid-insoluble metal sulfides FeS2, MoS2, and WS2 are chemically attacked by iron(III) hexahydrate ions, generating thiosulfate, which is oxidized to sulfuric acid. Other metal sulfides are attacked by iron(III) ions and by protons, resulting in the formation of elemental sulfur via intermediary polysulfides. Sulfur is biooxidized to sulfuric acid. This explains leaching of metal sulfides by Thiobacillus thiooxidans.
酸不溶性金属硫化物FeS2、MoS2和WS2会受到六水合铁(III)离子的化学侵蚀,生成硫代硫酸盐,硫代硫酸盐会被氧化成硫酸。其他金属硫化物会受到铁(III)离子和质子的侵蚀,通过中间多硫化物生成元素硫。硫会被生物氧化成硫酸。这就解释了嗜硫代硫杆菌对金属硫化物的浸出作用。
