XRF analysis of coal bioleaching by chemolithoheterotrophic Alicyclobacillus HRM5 and chemolithoautotrophic Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
Most studies on sulfur bioleaching from coal depend on an autotrophic microorganism with a low growth and a long leaching time. For this reason, heterotrophic heat and acidic pH-resistant Alicyclobacillus was used as the growing and resting cells for the sulfur and iron removal from coal. The results obtained were analyzed by XRF. The data showed that 26.71% of sulfur was removed by Alicyclobac...
متن کاملSynergy between Rhizobium phaseoli and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in the Bioleaching Process of Copper
This study investigates the synergy of Rhizobium phaseoli and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in the bioleaching process of copper. The results showed that additional R. phaseoli could increase leaching rate and cell number of A. ferrooxidans. When the initial cell number ratio between A. ferrooxidans and R. phaseoli was 2 : 1, A. ferrooxidans attained the highest final cell number of approximat...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain D3-2 active in copper bioleaching from a copper mine in Chile.
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain D3-2, which has a high copper bioleaching activity, was isolated from a low-grade sulfide ore dump in Chile. The amounts of Cu(2+) solubilized from 1% chalcopyrite (CuFeS(2)) concentrate medium (pH 2.5) by A. ferrooxidans strains D3-2, D3-6, and ATCC 23270 and 33020 were 1360, 1080, 650, and 600 mg x l(-1) x 30 d(-1). The iron oxidase activities of D3-2, D3...
متن کاملBioinformatic Prediction of Gene Functions Regulated by Quorum Sensing in the Bioleaching Bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
The biomining bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans oxidizes sulfide ores and promotes metal solubilization. The efficiency of this process depends on the attachment of cells to surfaces, a process regulated by quorum sensing (QS) cell-to-cell signalling in many Gram-negative bacteria. At. ferrooxidans has a functional QS system and the presence of AHLs enhances its attachment to pyrite. How...
متن کاملAn Investigation the Effect of Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans Bacteria on Biomachining of Titanium Alloy and Copper
Recent advances in technology have increased the necessity of using components with Micro and Nano dimensions. In recent years, the use of bacteria as a renewable tool has hopeful applications in producing different work-pieces. In this study, the effect of Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans (A.F) on Vt20 (Titanium alloy) and Cu were investigated. The results illustrated that in the medium of the A...
