嗜酸氧化亚铁硫杆菌浸出黄铜矿中氧化还原电位、黄铁钾钒和胞外聚合物的关系和影响(英文)

在合成的胞外聚合物(EPS)溶液中,研究不同起始总铁量、不同Fe(III)与Fe(II)摩尔比条件下嗜酸氧化亚铁硫杆菌浸出黄铜矿过程中pH、电位、可溶性铁离子和Cu2+浓度随浸出时间的变化。结果表明:当溶液电位低于650mV(vsSHE)时,因细菌产生的EPS可通过絮凝黄铁钾钒延缓污染,即使铁离子浓度达到20g/L,黄铁钾钒对细菌浸出黄铜矿的阻碍作用也不是致命的,但随着铁离子浓度的增加而增加;细菌氧化的铁离子容易吸附在黄铜矿表面的EPS表层,有黄铁钾钒的EPS层是弱离子扩散壁垒,细菌通过把EPS空间内外的Fe2+氧化成Fe3+,进一步创造高于650mV的电位,导致EPS层离子扩散性能的快速恶化,严重地和不可逆地阻碍生物浸出黄铜矿。

Biofilm forming and leaching mechanism during bioleaching chalcopyrite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

The mechanism of attachment and leaching of thiobacillus ferrooxidans (T. f. ) on chalcopyrite were studied. The shaking flasks with bacteria were observed by SEM. The process of T. f attached to the surface of the mineral sample and the biofilm forming were described. The promoting role of the biofilm for bioleaching was discussed. The existence of Fe^2 in the exopolysaccharide layer of T. f was demonstrated by EM(electronic microscope)cell-chemistry analysis. These results show that under the proper growth condition of bacteria, bioleaching of chalcopyrite results in the formation of complete biofilm after 2 - 3 weeks. There are iron ions in the outer layer polymer of T. f. , which provides the micro-environment for themselves, and can guaruntee the energy needed for the bacteria growth in the blofilm. At the same time, Fe^3 ions produced oxidize sulfide which brings about the increase of both growth rate of the bacterial and leaching rate of sulfide minerals.     

Comparison on the leaching kinetics of chalcocite and pyrite with or without bacteria

The acid leaching, ferric leaching, and bioleaching of chalcocite and pyrite minerals were conducted in two sets of 3L stirred reactors. The dissolution rates of copper and iron were correlated with leaching conditions. In the acid leaching process, the dissolution rate of chalcocite was around 40wt.% while that of pyrite was less than 4%. In the ferric leaching process with high ferric concentration, only 10 wt.% of iron in pyrite was leached out at the same retention time though the copper recovery over 60 wt.% in chalcocite. For the bioleaching process, the chalcocite leaching rate was highly increased, nearly 90 wt.% of copper was leached out, and the iron dissolution of pyrite exceeded 70 wt.%. For the two minerals, the bioleaching shows the highest leaching rate compared with the acid leaching or ferric leaching. In uncontrolled bioleaching process, pyrite could be dissolved effectively. The experimental data were fitted to the shrinking core and particle model. The results show that in all the leaching tests, the chalcocite leaching was mainly controlled by diffusion, while for the pyrite leaching, chemical reaction is the main rate-determining step.     

Responses of bacterial community to potential heap construction methods of fine-grained copper tailings in column bioleaching system

The column bioleaching of copper flotation tailings was comparatively investigated using layered heap construction method (LM), agglomerate heap construction method (AM), and pellets-sintering heap construction method (PM). The bacterial communities of free, attached, weakly-attached, and strongly-attached microbes in the later bioleaching stage were investigated. In AM group, the addition of lump sulphide ore resulted in the low leachate pH, high ferric iron concentration, and rapid microbial adsorption, which obtained the maximum copper extraction (60.1%) compared with LM (54.6%) and PM (43.9%) groups. The relative abundance of dominant genera and microbial communities of different microbiota underwent changes in three heap construction methods. The alpha-diversity indexes of attached, weakly-attached, and strongly-attached microbes were different, while no significant change was observed in free bacteria. The variation of whole bacterial community was significantly associated with solution pH, total iron, and ferric iron concentrations. Pearson correlation analysis and partial least square path model both indicated that attached bacteria made larger contribution to the copper extraction of tailings.     

Study on bioleaching of primary chalcopyrite ore with thermoacidophilic archae

A high temperature-tolerating thermoacidophilic archae （TA） was isolated from water samples collected from a hot sulfur-containing spring in the Yunnan Province, China, and was used in bioleaching experiments of a low-grade chalcopyrite ore. The TA grow at temperatures ranging from 40 to 80℃, with 65℃ being the optimum temperature, and at pH values of l.5 to 4.0, with an optimum pH value of 2.0. The bioleaching experiments of the chalcvpyrite ore were conducted in both laboratory batch bioreactors and leaching columns. The results obtained from the bioreactor experiments showed that the TA bioleaching rate of copper reached 97% for a 12-day leaching period, while the bioleaching rate was 32.43% for thiobacillus ferrooxidans （Tf） leaching for the same leaching time. In the case of column leaching, tests of a two-phase leaching （196 days）, that is, a two-month （56 days） Tf leaching in the first phase, followed by a 140-day TA leaching in the second phase were performed. The average leaching rate of copper achieved for the 140-day TA leaching was 195mg/（L.d）, while for the control experiments, it was as low as 78mg/（L .d） for the Tf leaching, indicating that the TA possesses a more powerful oxidizing ability to the chalcopyrite than Tf Therefore, it is suggested that the two-phase leaching process be applied to .for the heap leaching operations, whereas, the TA can be used in the second phase when the temperature inside the heap has increased, and the primary copper sulfide minerals have already been partially oxidized with Tf beforehand in the first phase.

A high temperature-tolerating thermoacidophilic archae (TA) was isolated from water samples collected from a hot sulfur-containing spring in the Yunnan Province, China, and was used in bioleaching experiments of a low-grade chalcopyrite ore. The TA grow at temperatures ranging from 40 to 80℃, with 65℃ being the optimum temperature, and at pH values of 1.5 to 4.0, with an optimum pH value of 2.0.

Therefore, it is suggested that the two-phase leaching process be applied to for the heap leaching operations, whereas, the TA can be used in the second phase when the temperature inside the heap has increased, and the primary copper sulfide minerals have already been partially oxidized with Tf beforehand in the first phase.     

Simulated small-scale pilot heap leaching of low-grade copper sulfide ore with selective extraction of copper

The bioleaching of low-grade copper sulfide ore and the selective extraction of copper were investigated. Lix984 dissolved in kerosene was used as extractant. The results show that it is possible to selectively leach copper from the ores by heap leaching. The copper concentration of leaching liquor after 250 d is 2.17 g/L, and the copper concentration is 0.27 g/L after solvent extraction. The leach liquor was subjected to solvent extraction, scrubbing and selective stripping for the enrichment of copper and the removal of impurities. The pregnant copper sulfate solution produced from the stripping cycle is suitable for copper electro-winning.

Feasibility study on heap bioleaching of chalcopyrite

Bioleaching of chalcopyrite often encountered the formation of passivation layer, which inhibited the leaching process and resulted in a low leaching rate. This inhibitory effect can be eliminated by thermophilic biole- aching. The industrial test of BioCOP technology based on thermophiles was successfully completed, which confirmed the feasibility of chalcopyrite bioleaching. However, industrial leaching rate of chalcopyrite heap bioleaching is lower. This paper described the development status and industrial test of chalcopyrite heap bioleaching technology. The reasons for the lower efficiency of chalcopyrite heap bioleaching were analyzed. The strategies for successful chalcopyrite heap bioleaching were proposed.     

Thermodynamic properties of bioleaching liquid mixtures with and without mesophilic bacteria at different temperatures

In this work, low-grade copper sulfide mine has been treated by the bioleaching process using native cultures of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The bioleaching experiments were carried out in shake flasks at pH 2.0, 180 r·min-1 and 30°C for mesophilic bacteria. The conductivity of copper bioleaching liquid was determined by the electric conductivity method at temperatures ranging from 298 K to 313 K. The ionic activity coefficients were estimated using Debye-Hücker and Osager-Falkenlagen equations. Meanwhile, the effects of temperature and concentration on the mean ionic activity co efficients were discussed. The relative partial molar free energies, enthalpies and entropies of copper leaching solution at above experimental temperatures were calculated The behaviors of change of relative partial molar quantities were dis cussed on the basis of electrolytic solution theory. Simultaneously, the thermodynamic characters of bioleaching solution with and without mesophilic bacteria were compared. The existence of mesophilic bacteria changed the Fe3 /Fe2 ratio, which resulted in the difference of ionic interaction. The experimental data show that the determination of the thermody namic properties during the bioleaching processes should be important     

Comparative study on bioleaching of two different types of low-grade copper tailings by mixed moderate thermophiles

The bioleaching of two different types of low-grade copper tailings, acid-leaching tailings (ALT) and copper flotation tailings (CFT) by mixed moderate thermophiles, and the variation of mineralogical and microbiological characteristics during their dissolution processes were comparatively investigated. Results showed that bioleaching behaviors of the two types of tailings were significantly different. In ALT bioleaching, lower redox potential, higher [Fe³⁺]/[Fe²⁺] ratio and higher cell density in solution were obtained. These resulted in higher total copper, primary copper sulfide and secondary copper sulfide extractions, compared with CFT bioleaching. X-ray diffraction analysis suggested that gypsum and some metal organic complexes were detected in CFT bioleaching, which could cause the sluggish oxidation of sulphide minerals. The shifts of microbial community in the leachates and leaching residues varied greatly between ALT and CFT bioleaching. The percentage of iron-oxidizing bacteria in ALT bioleaching was higher than that of CFT, but the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria percentage was the opposite. The archaeon F. thermophilum L1 was detected in ALT but not in CFT.
