Surface characterization of chalcopyrite interacting with Leptospirillum ferriphilum

嗜铁钩端螺旋菌对黄铜矿表面性质的影响(英文)

The alteration of surface properties of chalcopyrite after biological conditioning with Leptospirillum ferriphilum was studied by adsorption,zeta-potential,contact angle and bioleaching tests.The strains of L.ferriphilum cultured using different energy sources（either soluble ferrous ion or chalcopyrite） were used.The adhesion of bacteria to the chalcopyrite surface was a fast process.Additionally,the adsorption of substrate-grown bacteria was greater and faster than that of liquid-grown ones.The isoelectric point（IEP） of chalcopyrite moved toward that of pure L.ferriphilum after conditioning with bacteria.The chalcopyrite contact angle curves motioned diversely in the culture with or without energy source.The results of X-ray diffraction patterns（XRD）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDS） analysis indicate that the surface of chalcopyrite is covered with sulfur and jarosite during the bioleaching process by L.ferriphilum.Furthermore,EDS results imply that iron phase dissolves preferentially from chalcopyrite surface during bioleaching.The copper extraction is low,resulting from the formation of a passivation layer on the surface of chalcopyrite.The major component of the passivation layer that blocked continuous copper extraction is sulfur instead of jarosite.

通过吸附、动电位、接触角和摇瓶浸出试验研究Leptospirillum ferriphilum菌作用前后黄铜矿表面性质的变化。采用不同能源物质(亚铁和黄铜矿粉)培养L.ferriphilum菌。结果表明,细菌可以很快吸附在黄铜矿表面,并且固体能源物质培养的细菌比液体能源物质培养的细菌可以更多、更快地吸附在矿物表面。与细菌作用后,黄铜矿的等电点朝着细菌等电点的方向移动。在添加与不添加能源物质时,黄铜矿的接触角表现出不同的变化趋势。XRD、SEM/EDS检测表明浸出过程中在黄铜矿表面生成了硫和黄钾铁矾。通过EDS检测可知在黄铜矿的分解过程中,铁优先从黄铜矿表面释放出来。在浸出过程中黄铜矿表面生成了钝化层,从而导致其浸出率很低。通过研究推测钝化层的主要成分是硫,而不是黄钾铁矾。
