Abstract: Pyrite (FeS₂) is one of the predominant minerals found on the Earth’s surface, commonly used as the fundamental mineral source for sulfur extraction and sulfuric acid production. Additionally, it serves as a natural material for wastewater treatment. Autotrophic denitrification, where pyrite acts as an electron donor, presents a bio-based treatment technology with significant potential for addressing low C/N water conditions. This approach offers advantages such as cost-effectiveness, independence from external carbon sources, reduced sludge generation, and minimal by-product formation. Furthermore, it can be synergistically integrated with various denitrification technologies. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the principles underlying autotrophic denitrification utilizing pyrite as an electron donor, elucidating the effects of specific surface area, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, hydraulic retention time, and the influence of toxic substances on the efficiency of pyrite-based autotrophic denitrification. Moreover, it offers a crucial overview of treatment processes and the current application landscape focused on pyrite-driven autotrophic denitrification. This includes detailed discussions on treatment methodologies such as filled bed, fluidized bed, constructed wetland, and biological filter systems that leverage pyrite autotrophic denitrification. The paper also explores the integration of pyrite autotrophic denitrification with anaerobic ammonia oxidation and heterotrophic denitrification, showcasing its efficacy in groundwater remediation and advanced sewage treatment scenarios. Lastly, the paper outlines prospective directions for advancing this technology, while critically evaluating the limitations of current application and recommending key research priorities from diverse perspectives.
