Elsetinow A., Borda M. J., Schoonen M. A., Strongin D. R. (2006): Method for inhibiting oxidation of metal sulfide-containing material. US Patent No. US 7,153,541 B2.
Abstract — The present invention provides means for inhibiting the oxidation of a metal sulfide-containing material, such as ore mine waste rock or metal sulfide tailings, by coating the metal sulfide-containing material with an oxidation-inhibiting two-tail lipid coating thereon, thereby inhibiting oxidation of the metal sulfide-containing material in acid mine drainage conditions. The lipids may be selected from phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids and combinations thereof.
