Question

Pyrite Fines containing 85% FeS2, and 15% gangue are charged to a burner.  An analysis of the cinder shows 11.11% FeS2, 66.63 % Fe2O3, 2.67 % SO3 and 19.6% gangue.  Air is supplied 17.33% in excess (FeS2 to SO3) at 25oC, 740 mmHg and 80% RH.  If 8% of the SO3 formed is absorbed in the cinder,

What is the nitrogen from the air?

What is the % excess oxygen (FeS2 to SO3)

What % FeS2 is lost in the cinder?

What is the moles FeS2 converted to SO2?

What is the free oxygen?

What is the moles of SO2 in the Orsat analysis?
