Can Iron Pyrite (fools Gold) be heat treated? What about Bravoite
(basicially Iron Pyrite with up to 20% Nickel)?

Sure, you can heat treat anything...point is, what the heck is your goal.

Pyrite is typically _roasted_ (in air) to produce sulfur oxides, which are
dissolved in water to make sulfuric acid. It is not a suitable iron ore
because too much sulfur remains in the metal.
