Comparison of atmospheric citric acid leaching kinetics of nickel from different Indonesian saprolitic ores © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Saprolitic ores from Sulawesi Island (SS ore) contain serpentine and goethite as major minerals, whereas the main minerals in saprolitic ore from Halmahera Island (SH ore) are talc and goethite. Most of the nickel was incorporated in a magnesium-silica-containing mineral. The effects on nickel extraction of leaching temperature, citric acid concentration, and ore particle size were determined to investigate the leaching performances and leaching kinetics of the two saprolitic ores. Nickel leaching efficiency from SS ore is always higher than that from SH ore under the same leaching conditions. The mineral contents of the ores significantly affected the leaching performances and mineral dissolution behaviors of the samples. The results of nickel leaching efficiency and analysis of the solid residues suggest that all dissolved nickel originated from serpentine, which is more easily leached than goethite and talc. The rate of nickel extraction for SS ore was faster than that for SH ore. Nickel leaching from SS ore and SH ore followed the shrinking-core model and was controlled by diffusion of a reactant or product through the solid product layer.. |

Effect of microorganisms on flocculation of quartz Application of microorganisms as surface modifiers in flocculation has generated a great deal of interest in recent times. The surface properties such as zeta-potential and hydrophobicity of minerals and microorganisms play a major role in determining the adsorption of microorganisms onto the minerals and hence the efficiency of flocculation. The utility of microorganisms, including Escherichia coli (wild-type and genetically modified strain Sip), Arthrobacter nicotianae, Bacillus licheniformis, and Pseudomonas maltophilia, has been evaluated by measuring their zeta-potentials and carrying out adsorption and flocculation experiments. Of the tested microorganisms, adsorption of E. coli strain Sip significantly modified the quartz surface. The zeta-potential of the quartz became highly positive at acidic pH, and its IEP (isoelectric point) was shifted from pH |

Effect of temperature on the bioleaching of chalcopyrite concentrates containing different concentrations of silver The primary copper sulfide mineral chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) is recalcitrant to both chemical and biological leaching, due to the supposed passivation of the mineral surface by sulfur and/or ferric iron compounds. Previous work has shown that addition of soluble silver can enhance solubilisation of copper from chalcopyrite by acidophilic bacteria. Silver may also be present in the concentrate itself. Here we describe the bioleaching of chalcopyrite concentrates with silver contents varying from 98% over 30 days) from the 1500 g/t chalcopyrite concentrate at 30 °C was achieved using pure and mixed cultures of At. ferrooxidans. The results indicated that chalcopyrite concentrates that contain significant concentrations of silver are highly amenable to bioleaching at relatively low temperatures, using well-known acidophilic micro-organisms. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Attachment of acidophilic bacteria to solid surfaces: The significance of species and strain variations Sixteen strains of acidophilic bacteria were screened for their abilities to adhere to pyrite ore, glass beads and ferric hydroxysulfates. These were three culture collection and two isolated strains of the iron- and sulfur-oxidizer, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, two each of the sulfur-oxidizer Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and the iron-oxidizer Leptospirillum ferrooxidans (the type strain and a mine isolate in either case), five heterotrophic acidophiles (four Acidiphilium and one Acidocella sp.) and two moderately thermophilic iron/sulfur-oxidizers (Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans and Sulfobacillus acidophilus). Considerable variations were found between different species of acidophiles, and also between different strains of the same species, in how they attached to the three solid materials tested. Attachment to the solid substrata generally increased with time (over 100 min) though > 99% of one At. ferrooxidans isolate (strain OP14) were attached to pyrite after just 10 min exposure. Most acidophiles attached more readily to pyrite than to glass beads, and attachment to ferric hydroxysulfates was highly variable, though one At. ferrooxidans isolate (strain SJ2) and one heterotrophic acidophile (Acidocella sp. het-4) both attached strongly to ferric iron precipitates (jarosites and schwertmannite) that formed in cultures of At. ferrooxidans grown at pH > 2. The results of these experiments showed that even closely related strains of acidophilic bacteria can display very different propensities to attach to solid materials, an observation that may explain the somewhat disparate results reported on occasions by research groups that have examined single, or limited numbers of strains, of acidophiles (mostly At. ferrooxidans). The significance of differential attachment of mineral-oxidizing and other acidophiles to pyrite and other solids is discussed in the context of biohydrometallurgy. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
