Thiosalt

No cause of the acidification was found, but when I added hydrochloric acid to a sample, release of colloidal sulfur showed that the acidification was caused by thiosalts formed by oxidation of pyrite in the mine's concentrator, and the rest is history.

Wither are you going, DFO?

The air-catalysed oxidation of thiosalts was described by Gary Rempel, FCIC (Waterloo).
