摘要
采用纯种Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans菌进行铁闪锌矿的生物浸出及电化学实验,研究颗粒大小、p H值控制和外加Fe^3+离子对锌浸出的影响。结果表明:在生物浸出过程中铁闪锌矿生物浸出的最佳粒度范围为0.043~0.074 mm;定期调整p H值至初始值对获得较高的浸出率有重要影响;外加Fe^3+离子能加速铁闪锌矿的生物浸出,但当外加Fe^3+离子浓度超过2.5 g/L时,促进作用变弱,甚至阻碍铁闪锌矿的溶解。SEM和XRD分析浸渣发现,在矿物表面形成一层由单质硫和黄钾铁矾组成的产物层,并导致后期的浸出速度低。电化学测试实验结果表明,外加Fe^3+离子可以增加腐蚀电流密度,有利于锌的提取。交流阻抗谱表明,添加Fe^3+离子后没有改变反应过程的控制步骤。
Bioleaching and electrochemical experiments were conducted to evaluate marmatite dissolution in the presence of pure S.thermosulfidooxidans.The effects of particle size,p H controlling and external addition of Fe^3+ ions on the zinc extraction were investigated.The results show that in the bioleaching process the best particle size range is 0.043-0.074 mm and adjusting p H regularly to the initial value has a profound effect on obtaining high leaching rate.External addition of Fe^3+ ions could accelerate the bioleaching,while the concentration of additional Fe^3+ over 2.5 g/L weakens the positive effect,and even hinders the dissolution of marmatite.SEM and XRD analyses of the leaching residues reveal that a product layer composed of elemental sulfur and jarosite is formed on the mineral surface,which results in a low leaching speed at later phase.The results of electrochemical measurements illustrate that additional Fe^3+ ions could increase the corrosion current density,which is favorable to zinc extraction.The EIS spectra show that rate-limiting step does not change when Fe^3+ ions are added.
