The results indicate that bacterial EPS can release H＋ and concentrate Fe3＋; Fe2＋ is movable between agar-simulated EPS phase and bulk solution phase, but it is difficult for Fe3＋ to move due to its hydroxylation and EPS complex action; A. ferrooxidans first prefer Fe2＋ as energy to metabolize compared with chalcopyrite, and a suitable simulated EPS environment for bacterial living is at about pH 1.8; the iron precipitates and jarosites formed by a lot of biologically oxidized Fe3 cover the simulated EPS easily and form an impermeable deposit acting as a limited barrier of ion transport that attenuates the aggressiveness of the bioleaching attack. The EPS layer blocked by iron precipitates or jarosites is responsible for the chalcopyrite passivation.展开更多
