摘要: The rate of dissolution sphalerite is shown to be directly proportional the concentration substitutional iron impurity in solid. This attributed formation a narrow band within forbidden gap sphalerite. d-orbital origin. transfer electrons between this and oxidant energetically more favorable than valence oxidant. A fundamental model combining electronic structure semiconductor electrochemistry presented. An equation derived that describes as being first order for solid half-order agreement with experimental evidence.
