Electrochemical passivation of sphalerite during bacterial oxidation in the presence of galena

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of galena on the leaching of sphalerite is studied for bacterial and ferric sulphate leaching during both leaching processes, and it is believed that this selective behaviour is due to galvanic interactions between the two minerals.
