The presence of pyrite in the aggregate used to make concrete can lead to severe deterioration as pyrite oxidizes. [51] In early 2009, problems with Chinese drywall imported into the United States after Hurricane Katrina were attributed to pyrite oxidation, followed by microbial sulfate reduction which released hydrogen sulfide gas ( H 2 S ).
The pyrite is stable until exposed to air, at which point the pyrite rapidly oxidises and produces sulfuric acid. The impacts of acid sulfate soil leachate may persist over a long time, and/or peak seasonally (after dry periods with the first rains).
Both women and men are capable of performing extraordinary feats, but there are some things the females of our species do better. Here are 7 of them, according to science. Number 7. Seeing colors ...

Sulfur can be found under several oxidation states in nature, mainly −2, −1, 0, +2 (apparent), +2.5 (apparent), +4, and +6. When two sulfur atoms are present in the same polyatomic oxyanion in an asymmetrical situation, i.e, each bound to different groups as in thiosulfate, the oxidation state calculated from the known oxidation state of accompanying atoms (H = +1, and O = −2) can be an ...
Loneliness experts offer tips for coping with loneliness during the holidays and year-round.
The loss of sulfur causes pyrite to recrystallize into pyrrhotite. [6] Pyrite also decomposes into pyrrhotite in hot reductive technogenic environments, such as blast furnaces [22] and direct coal liquefaction (in which it is an important catalyst). [23] Pyrrhotite can also form near black smoker hydrothermal vents. [6]
This underrepresentation makes our political participation even more imperative. To that end, HuffPost Women has partnered with Rock The Vote, and more than 50 other women's media brands for a cross-brand effort to encourage and help women across the country to register to vote. Because, quite simply, #OurVoteCounts.
