摘要
通过吸附和生物浸出实验考察利用嗜酸热古菌Acidianus copahuensis从Hualian矿中回收锌。经过在连四硫酸盐表面预处理的菌种具有比经其他能量供给剂预处理的菌种更强的矿物吸附能力,且此吸附能力可由所产生的体外聚合物调节。当加入连四硫酸盐时,用A.copahuensis生物浸取Hualian矿中的锌,其浸出率达100%。同时添加酵母和连四硫酸盐不仅能保持较高的锌浸出率,而且能加快浸出速率。添加连四硫酸盐后,培养基中锌的溶解动力学受化学反应控制;而在未添加连四硫酸盐培养基中,锌的溶解动力学受经过黄钾铁矾反应层的扩散控制。
The attachment and bioleaching experiments were conducted to evaluate the zinc recovery from Hualilan ore by thethermoacidophilic archaeon Acidianus copahuensis. Cells of this species pregrown on tetrathionate showed higher capability ofattachment to the ore than cells pregrown on other energy sources and such attachment seemed to be mediated by the product ofextracellular polymeric substances. A. copahuensis achieved a successful bioleaching of the ore reaching 100% of zinc recoverywhen tetrathionate was added. Simultaneous addition of yeast extract and tetrathionate maintained the zinc extraction at higher rate.Zinc dissolution kinetics was controlled by chemical reaction in cultures with the external addition of tetrathionate but by thediffusion through a product layer of jarosite in the other cultures.
