biooxidation of mouteh refractory gold-bearing concentrate by an adapted thiobacillus ferrooxidans

نویسندگان
چکیده

the mouteh refractory pyrite concentrates at pulp densities of 1.5%, 3%, 4.5% and 6% were treated, using thiobacillus ferrooxidans dsm 581 and the same bacteria adapted on the mouteh pyritic concentrate. compared with a non-adapted culture, use of an adapted inoculum of t. ferrooxidans increased bioleaching rate of iron by a factor of 1.940, 2.011, 1.859 and 1.559 for pulp densities 1.5%, 3%, 4.5% and 6%, respectively. lag phase time for growth of adapted cells decreased to less than 24 hours. ore samples were analysed for gold recovery by cyanide extraction before and after biooxidation in 4l and 20l bioreactors. when 55% of the sulphides were oxidised, as a result the gold recovery-upon subsequent cyanide extraction improved more than 95%. mathematical analysis of bioleaching data showed that the x3 variable equation satisfactorily predicts the gold recovery in relation to the oxidation degree of pyrite concentrate.

Kinetics of Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.

A statistical relationship between the rate of ferric ion production by a strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and various levels of cell concentration, Fe concentration, Na concentration, and temperature was studied by a direct colorimetric method at 304 nm. The relationship was linear (90 to 93%), cross-product (3 to 4%), and quadratic (1 to 2%). The levels of cell concentration and Fe concent...

KINETIC STUDIES FOR GOLD LEACHING OF A REFRACTORY SULFIDE CONCENTRATE BY CHLORIDE–HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION

In this paper, gold leaching of a refractory sulfide concentrate by chloride–hypochlorite solution was investigated and effects of stirring speed, temperature and particle size on the leaching rate were reported. Experimental data for leaching rate of gold were analyzed with the shrinking–core model. Results were consistent with chemical reaction control mechanism in the first 1 h of leachin...

Facilitate of Gold Extracting From Mouteh Refractory Gold Ore Using Indigenouse Bacteria

The term biomining have been coined to refer to the use of microorganisms in mining processes as in the biooxidation of refractory gold minerals. The biooxidation of refractory gold ores presents similar characteristics when compared with roasting and pressure oxidation. Almost without exception, microbial extraction procedures are more environmentally friendly. The isolated bacteria in this st...

Molecular genetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a gram-negative, highly acidophilic (pH 1.5 to 2.0), autotrophic bacterium that obtains its energy through the oxidation of ferrous iron or reduced inorganic sulfur compounds. It is usually dominant in the mixed bacterial populations that are used industrially for the extraction of metals such as copper and uranium from their ores. More recently, these bacterial con...
