1. Naoko Okibe, Kohei Nonaka, Taiki Kondo, Kazuhiko Shimada, Peiyu Liu, Microbiological passive treatment of Mn/Zn-containing mine water, HYDROMETALLURGY, 10.1016/j.hydromet.2023.106084, 219, 2023.05, The Mn/Zn-containing black sediments were formed at the closed N-mine site and used as a common inoculant to set up two different laboratory-scale passive bioprocesses (named Tank-I and Tank-II) to treat mine waters containing 70 mg/L Mn2+ and 97% Mn2+ and > 80% Zn2+ removal at an hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 15-17 h, while Tank-II (an up-flow tank filled with semi-calcined dolomite with a bottom aeration) removed >87% Mn and > 79% Zn at an HRT of 24 h. Further shortening of the HRT resulted in a rapid decline in performance (Zn2+ desorption followed by Mn2+ elution) in both tanks. As the semi-calcined dolomite in Tank-II had been passivated and deactivated during the pre-run period, periodic CaCO3 addition (plus HRT readjustment) was required in both tanks to reverse this performance degradation. Treatment of the real mine water was generally faster and more complete, presumably due to the continuous influx of naturally occurring CO32- into the system. This allowed for >99% Mn/Zn removal at HRT 8-15 h in Tank-I and at HRT 17 h in Tank-II. In TankI, birnessite was formed as a result of the oxidative removal of Mn2+ where the Mn average oxidation state (AOS) progressed from 3.53 to 3.85 through the activity of potential Mn-oxidizing genera such as Bacillus, Pseudonocardia, Brevibacillus, Nitrospira, Methylobacterium, Bosea, Leptothrix, Mycobacterium, Rhizobium and Pseudomonas. While in Tank-II, in addition to abiotic Mn removal by semi-calcined dolomite in the early stages, microbial Mn oxidation activity developed over time to produce woodruffite and birnessite, with Mn AOS progressing from 3.53 to 3.79 through the activity of potential Mn-oxidizing genera such as Methylobacterium and Leptothrix. The microbial community developed very differently between the two tanks, due to the different tank designs. Offsite Pseudomonas SK3 cells co-inoculated only in Tank-I were eliminated by the indigenous community, presumably due to the lack of Zn2+ tolerance. Both tanks were effective in treating the target mine water to meet the effluent standard while producing equally stable Mn oxides. Although the two tanks cannot be directly compared in detail due to their completely different designs, the simpler Tank-I design was superior overall in terms of speed and microbial activity and diversity..

Ryohei Nishi, Santisak Kitjanukit, Kohei Nonaka, Naoko Okibe, “Oxidation of arsenite by self-regenerative bioactive birnessite in a continuous flow column reactor.”, Hydrometallurgy, 10.1016/j.hydromet.2020.105416, 196, 105416, 2020.09, Naturally occurring manganese (Mn) oxide, biogenic birnessite ((Na, Ca, K)0.5 MnIII, IV2O4·1.5 H2O), is involved in the geochemical cycling of variety of metals including arsenic (As). This natural reaction was exploited in this study to develop a sustainable oxidation treatment process of As(III) to the less soluble (and less toxic) As(V). It is known that the birnessite surface becomes passivated during As(III) oxidation, which quickly decreases its reactivity. The cycle batch test and the following XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structure) analysis in this study confirmed that combining chemical As(III) oxidation by birnessite with simultaneous birnessite regeneration by Mn-oxidizing microorganisms (Pseudomonas sp. SK3) can avoid passivation of MnIII-precipitates and enables continuous As(III) oxidation while increasing the AOS (average oxidation state) of birnessite. This chemical/microbiological synergism was observed for the As(III) concentration range of 0.2–0.5 mM with 0.1% birnessite, wherein no net Mn loss from birnessite was noticed for complete As(III) oxidation. The continuous column test was run for 40 days at a HRT (hydraulic retention time) of 3 h by feeding a 0.2 mM As(III) solution. The As(III) oxidation efficiency of >98% was consistently achieved while strictly controlling the Mn2+ dissolution throughout the test period. This study concluded that by taking advantage of a robust microbial Mn-oxidizing activity, the use of “bioactive” birnessite realizes self-sustainable oxidation of As(III), without necessitating additional feed of oxidant birnessite, Mn2+ ions or organics..

By using moderately thermophilic microorganisms at 45 degrees C, the final Cu dissolution was improved from 36% to 53% at 0.2% (w/v) activated carbon. An excess activated carbon addition showed an adverse effect. The enargite mineral itself favored higher solution redox potential (E-h) for solubilization. However, the dissolution of co-existing pyrite, which also favors high E-h, immediately hindered enargite dissolution through the passivation effect. The surface of activated carbon functioned as an electron mediator to couple RISCs oxidation and Fe3+ reduction, so that elevation of the E-h level was controlled by offsetting microbial Fe3+ regeneration. As long as the E-h level was suppressed at

Melisa Pramesti Dewi, Himawan Tri Bayu Murti Petrus, Naoko Okibe, “Recovering secondary REE value from spent oil refinery catalysts using biogenic organic acids.”, Catalysts, 10.3390/catal10091090, 10, 9, 1090-15, 2020.09, Spent catalysts produced by oil refinery industries are regarded as an important secondary source for valuable metals. In particular, spent fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts represent a potential source for rare earth elements (REEs). This study aimed to exploit the leachability of spent FCC catalysts as a secondary source for La, by using an alternative organic acid lixiviant produced under optimized fungal fermentation conditions. The first chemical leaching tests revealed that citric acid (>100 mM) is a comparable alternative lixiviant to conventional inorganic acids (1 M) and that the La dissolution behavior changed significantly with different types of organic acids. The initial fungal fermentation conditions (e.g., inoculum level, substrate concentration, pH) largely affected the resultant biogenic acid composition, and its manipulation was possible in order to almost solely ferment citric acid (~130 mM) while controlling the production of unwanted oxalic acid. The performance of actual biogenic acids (direct use of cell-free spent media) and artificially reconstituted biogenic acids (a mixture of chemical reagents) was nearly identical, achieving a final La dissolution of ~74% at a pulp density of 5%. Overall, the microbiological fermentation of organic acids could become a promising approach to supply an efficient and environmentally benign alternative lixiviant for REE scavenging from spent FCC catalyst wastes..
9. Haruki Noguchi, Naoko Okibe, “The role of bioleaching microorganisms in saline water leaching of chalcopyrite concentrate.”, Hydrometallurgy, 10.1016/j.hydromet.2020.105397, 195, 105397, 2020.08, In order to tackle the dual challenge of utilizing highly refractory chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) while saving scarce freshwater resources, this study aimed to systematically understand the individual role of chemical lixiviant and bioleaching microorganisms in the complex Fe3+-Cu2+-SO42−-Cl− chalcopyrite leaching system. In general freshwater bioleaching conditions, the Eh level sharply increased, and the “high-Eh-bioleaching” became the major leaching driving force. In this case, the lowest Cu yield was obtained. The chalcopyrite leaching reaction responded differently to different salinity levels. At a low salinity of 0.5% NaCl, chemical Cl−-leaching effect resulted in a higher Cu yield than the fresh-water “high-Eh-bioleaching” system. The growth of tested microbes was observed at 0.5% NaCl, but partial deactivation of microbial Fe-oxidation suppressed the Eh level. Under this condition, synergism between the chemical Cl−-leaching effect and the “low-Eh-bioleaching” effect was found. At a high salinity of 2% NaCl, on the other hand, no active cell growth was observed, and thus pre-grown cells were used to mimic the presence of Cl−-tolerant cells. Chemical Cl−-leaching readily proceeded at 2% NaCl at low Eh, but quickly ceased upon the depletion of H+. The presence of bioleaching cells somewhat slowed down the speed of chemical Cl−-leaching, but the acid depletion was alleviated by microbial acid generation. Chemical Cl−-leaching, which favors low Eh condition, was the main driving force for chalcopyrite leaching at 2% NaCl. Therefore, the activity of Cl−-tolerant S-oxidizer alone, rather than mixed Fe- and S-oxidizing consortium, was shown to play a critical role in maximizing the chalcopyrite dissolution..

This study investigated the effect caused by Cu(II) in synthetic As(III)-bearing copper refinery wastewaters, on microbial scorodite (FeAsO4·2H2O) formation using the thermo-acidophilic Fe(II)- and As(III)-oxidizing archaeon, Acidianus brierleyi. Microbial Fe(II) oxidation and cell growth became only marginal in the presence of 8–16 mM Cu(II), with its As(III) oxidation ability being severely inhibited. Consequently, scorodite formation was disabled by Cu(II) addition. However, feeding scorodite seed crystals readily alleviated Fe(II)- and As(III)-oxidation ability of Ac. brierleyi at 8 mM Cu(II), forming crystalline scorodite within 24 days in shake flasks. Zeta potential analysis indicated cell attachment to the scorodite seed crystal surface, implying its role in providing the immediate support for microbial colonization and enabling more robust microbial reactions. Most of Cu(II) was neither adsorbed nor co-precipitated and remained in the solution phase during scorodite crystallization, with or without the presence of seed crystals. Addition of seed crystals at 0.015, 0.03, 0.075 and 0.15% resulted in As immobilization of 96, 97, 97 and 98%, respectively, by day 24. This study demonstrated that despite of its inhibitory effect on Ac. brierleyi cells, scorodite can still be crystallized in the presence of Cu(II) by feeding scorodite seeds from synthetic copper refinery As(III)-bearing wastewaters..
