Abstract: | The Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans(At.f) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (At.t) were used in bio-dissolution experiments of heavy metals in spent MH/Ni batteries. The influences of the initial pH value, the concentration of electrode materials, the temperature and substrate concentration on the leaching rate of heavy metal Ni, Co have been investigated. The obtained results indicate that the efficiency of nickel extraction and cobalt extraction is dependent on all of the mentioned factors. Especially, the initial pH value and the temperature have more effect than other factors for these microorganisms. In addition, the results show that the optimal leaching rate of Ni and Co in the spent MH/Ni batteries reaches to 95.7% and 72.4% respectively after 20 days under the conditions of the initial pH value 1.0, concentration of electrode materials 1.0%, temperature 30℃ and substrate(sulfur) concentration 4.0g·L-1. |
