The use of synthetic jarosite as an analog for natural jarosite
The presence of jarosite in soil or mining waste is an indicator of acidic sulfate-rich conditions. Physical and chemical properties of synthetic jarosites are commonly used as analogs in laboratory studies to determine solubility and acid-generation of naturally occurring jarosites. In our work we have mineralogically and chemically characterized both natural and synthetic jarosites. Analysis of

Methods for synthesis of some jarosites
Experimental procedures in this report summarize attempts to synthesize potassium-, hydronium-, sodium-, and mixed-composition (hydronium-bearing) jarosites. After experimentation, some acceptable combinations of chemical and physical factors were found to routinely synthesize chemically different jarosites, which were used as part of a characterization study of some natural and synthetic jarosite

Acid-neutralizing potential of minerals in intrusive rocks of the Boulder batholith in northern Jefferson County, Montana
Experimental studies show that fresh granitic rocks of the Boulder batholith in the
Boulder River headwaters near Basin, Montana have significant acid-neutralizing
potential and are capable of neutralizing acidic water derived from metal-mining related
wastes or mine workings. Laboratory studies show that in addition to the acidneutralizing
potential (ANP) of minor amounts of calcite in these
