The properties of iron sulfide minerals, especially in prebiotic conditions, have been investigated. Their association with organic molecules, particularly proteins, have been reported.
Microbial biomass is a factor that influences the aggregation of Fe-S minerals. These associations are recorded in the mineral’s morphology and composition.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis can provide information on the atoms and molecules inside the material. In addition, UV-Vis spectrometry can provide information on the substances’ composition.
The study compared the C/Fe thickness ratios of iron sulfide minerals. The particle sizes did not change significantly during the course of the experiment. However, the nonstoichiometry of the mineral was affected by temperature.
A number of studies have examined the properties of iron sulfide in different temperatures. This includes the sensitivity of the metal to water absorption. It is also important to investigate the effect of sulfur pressure on the nonstoichiometry.
FeS is usually present in the +2 oxidation state. However, it can occur in other formations. Field samples display a 5:1 ratio of iron II to iron III. There are several solid phases of iron sulfides, including FeS2m, FeS2p, and FeS1-xS.
X-ray diffraction analysis is the most direct method to assess crystal purity. It also shows the crystalline structure of the material. Various morphologies of iron sulfide are observed, ranging from amorphous to cubic.
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy can be used to detect functional groups in complex mixtures. It is important for characterization of modified iron sulfide.
