An example of a mine utilizing this technology is the Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic. At Pueblo Viejo, the process is performed by injecting high-purity oxygen into autoclaves operating at 230 degrees C and 40 bar of pressure. The resulting chemical reactions oxides the sulfide minerals the gold is trapped within. [3]

Mundic once [2] referred to pyrite, [3] but has now adopted the wider meaning of concrete deterioration caused by oxidisation of pyrites within the aggregate (usually originating from mine waste). The action of water and oxygen on pyrite forms sulphate (a salt of sulphuric acid ), thereby depleting the pyrite, causing loss of adhesion and ...
Mining for pyrite at Litlabø had first been established in 1865. Stordø Kisgruber A/S was established in 1907 and maintained mining operations which ended in 1968.
