In spite of the environmental and commercial interests in the bacterial leaching of pyrite, two central questions have not been answered after more than 35 years of research: does Thiobacillus ferrooxidans enhance the rate of leaching above that achieved by ferric sulfate solutions under the same conditions, and if so, how do the bacteria affect such an enhancement? Experimental conditions of p...

according to the unique properties and many applications of nano gold powder, it was prepared from an acid leaching tail solution. the low value residual gold ions existed in acid leaching tail solution in mouteh gold mine in iran with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (fe2+, cu2+, and zn2+). preparation of nano gold particles is achieved by two steps: first, by addition of ammonia as separatio...

Results & Discussion: The content of arsenic in pyrite cinders was reduced to 0.08% through the investigation of the factors, including particle size, alkaline concentration, temperature, solid-liquid ratio (S/L) and leaching time. Then, the ferric precipitation method was used to remove the arsenic in the leaching solution. More than 99% of the arsenic can be removed by controlling the pH and ...

According to the unique properties and many applications of nano silver powder, it was prepared from acid leaching tail solution. The low value residual gold and silver ions were occurred with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (Fe2+, Cu 2+ and Zn2+) in acid leaching tail solution in Mouteh gold mine in Iran. Preparation of nano silver particles was achieved in two steps: first, by addition of a...

The influence of pH on the leaching behaviour of air pollution control (APC) residues produced in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) is addressed in this study. The residue is considered hazardous waste, and in accordance with their chemical properties, the leaching of contaminants into the environment is the main concern. Several leaching tests can be used for research studies or regula...

Abstract Leaching titaniferous magnetite concentrate with alkali solution of high concentration under temperature and pressure was utilized to improve the grade iron in TiO 2 titanium tailings. The use contained 12.67% 54.01% Fe. thermodynamics possible reactions kinetics leaching process were analyzed. It found that decomposing FeTiO 3 NaOH aqueous could be carried out spontaneously reaction r...

Leaching of Arsenic from high Arsenic loaded iron oxide impregnated brick sands (IOI CBCM) was investigated using common household chemicals like common salt and soda ash, the industrial chemicals caustic soda and the phosphates used as fertilizers such as potassium hydrogen phosphate and TSP. Leaching by ordinary ground water was also investigated on the arsenic saturated iron oxide impregnate...

This paper reports on the recovery of zinc, cobalt and manganese by two-step leaching of zinc-plants purification residue with sulfuric acid. The residue, hot filter press cake (HFC), contains 14 % ZnO, 4.8 % Co3O4 and 22.9 % MnO. Effects of different parameters are determined and used to optimize the process. With acid to hot filter press cake (HFC) stoichiometry of 0.85, acid concentration of...
