An analytical procedure for the alpha-source preparation is investigated in study to determine uranium radioisotopes specific activities bioleaching liquor leach from asphaltite samples taken Silopi region Türkiye. The purpose develop a new radiochemical method that can provide alpha-particle spectrometry requirements. proposed includes sample preparation, purification of liquor, on substrate a...

In this study, some important variables in the bioleaching, such as ferric and zinc ions concentration in the liquid phase and velocity field around a single particle were simulated. Volume of fluid (VOF) method was used to predict the mentioned fields in a 3D geometry. Results show that VOF is a successful approach for prediction of velocity and concentration fields. The computational model ha...

Acidithiobacillus albertensis is an extremely acidophilic, mesophilic, obligatory autotrophic sulfur-oxidizer, with potential importance in the bioleaching of sulfidic metal ores, first described in the 1980s. Here we present the draft genome sequence of Acidithiobacillus albertensis DSM 14366T, thereby both filling a long-standing gap in the genomics of the acidithiobacilli, and providing furt...

Red mud (RM) is the main residue produced by alkaline extraction of alumina (Al2O3) from bauxite, and it contains valuable metals such as iron (Fe), aluminium (Al), titanium (Ti), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), rare earth elements, etc. This research aimed to investigate biologically induced leaching some elements raw RM without preliminary biomass enrichment inoculum, simultaneously reducing ...
