A model of oxidation in pyritic mine wastes. II: Comparison of numerical and approximate solutions. (English) Zbl 0608.65085
[For part I see ibid. 10, 314-322 (1986; reviewed above).]
Results are presented of a numerical solution to a set of equations which models oxidation in pyritic mine wastes under natural conditions. Oxidation proceeds at a moving front within the particles comprising the wastes. Properties predicted by the numerical solution are compared with results predicted by an approximate analytical solution. The accuracy and usefulness of the approximate analytical solution are discussed.
