Influence of the surface speciation on biofilm attachment to chalcopyrite by Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012
Surfaces of massive chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) electrodes were modified by applying variable oxidation potential pulses under growth media in order to induce the formation of different secondary phases (e.g., copper-rich polysulfides, S n(2-); elemental sulfur, S(0); and covellite, CuS).

A comparison of bioleaching of covellite using pure cultures of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans or a mixed culture of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans

Hydrometallurgy, 2003
The aim of this investigation was to determine the efficacy of covellite bioleaching using pure cultures of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans or Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and a mixed culture composed of At. thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans. The experiments were carried out in shake flasks with or without iron(II) (1 g/L as ferrous sulphate)

Removal of hydrogen sulfide by sulfate-resistant Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans AZ11

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2006
Toxic H2S gas is an important industrial pollutant that is applied to biofiltration. Here, we examined the effects of factors such as inlet concentration and space velocity on the removal efficiency of a bacterial strain capable of tolerating high sulfate concentrations and low pH conditions.

Bioleaching of chromium from tannery sludge by indigenous Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2007
Chromium in tannery sludge will cause serious environmental problems and is toxic to organisms. The acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans can leach heavy metals form urban and industrial wastes. This study examined the ability of an indigenous sulfur-oxidizing A. thiooxidans to leach chromium from tannery sludge. The results showed

Treatment for woolscouring effluent through bioacidification by acidithiobacillus thiooxidans

International Journal of Environment and Pollution, 2010
In this study, a promising process called bioacidification was used to remove organic pollutant from Woolscouring Effluent (WSE) by emulsion destabilisation. Chemostat experiments of bioacidification treatment inoculated with Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans were operated at high wastewater recycle ratios to achieve shorter Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT).

Adhesion to metal sulfide surfaces by cells of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans

Hydrometallurgy, 2006
Abstract Attachment of four strains of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite or quartz was found to be mineral-selective. The bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are responsible for mediating this process. Attachment of cells of A.

Heavy metals recovery from spent catalyst using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans

2010 International Conference on Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 2010
In this investigation, a spent processing catalyst from one of the oil refineries in Iran was initially characterized physically and chemically. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans were used to mobilize aluminum, cobalt, molybdenum and nickel from hazardous spent catalysts.

Bioleaching of sphalerite by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans cultured in 9K medium modified with pyrrhotite

Journal of Central South University of Technology, 2008
Elective culture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans in 9K medium modified with pyrrhotite was studied. Bioleaching of flotation concentrate of sphalerite by the selected bacteria was carried out. The results show that the microorganisms cultured by pyrrhotite are a mixture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and ...

Comparative study of inorganic arsenic resistance of several strains of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Hydrometallurgy, 2009
The growth characteristics of several strains of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans were studied in the presence of soluble inorganic arsenic(III) and (V) with regard to media pH changes, total bacterial populations and sulfur oxidation rates.
