Table 1. Rate constants obtained by fitting experimental data.

Rate constants Oxic conditions Anoxic conditions
koxic (mol/m2s) 10−3.58 10−3.70
kanoxic (mol/m2s) 10−8.25 10−8.14
*kpyr by O2 10−7.86 (mol/ m2 s) by H2O2 10−6.03 (L/ m2 s)

*The rate of pyrite oxidation by H2O2 was used as an additional adjustable parameter based on the expression given by McKibben and Barnes (1987) whereas the oxidation rate by O2 was used as a fixed parameter (Liu et al. 2008).
