Mineralogy of sulfides

David J. Vaughan, Claire L. Corkhill

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Metal sulfides are the most important group of ore minerals. Here, we review what is known about their compositions, crystal structures, phase relations and parageneses. Much less is known about their surface chemistry, their biogeochemistry, or the formation and behaviour of 'nanoparticle' sulfides, whether formed abiotically or biogenically.
