Firstly, penetration of elements into ahiminium melting furnace refractory was investigated and it was found that up to 7 cm from surface was contaminated. Comparison on leaching efficiency by the strains ATCC23270 and TM-32 found that the strain ATCC23270 could treat larger amount of the refractories than the strain TM-32 could do. In the experiment of bioleaching of spent refractory alumiulum melting furnace by the strain ATCC23270, high leaching efficiency were obtained on A1, Si, and Ca, and extremely low leaching performance was, however, shown on the rest of elements i.e., Na, Mn, and Zn. Under the strain TM-32 use, relatively high leaching performance was recognized on A1, Si, Ca, Na, Mn, and Zn. In the experiment of bioleaching for spent refractory copper melting furnace, almost the same leaching trends were shown on Cu, Zn, A1, and Si under the strains ACTT23270 and TM-32 uses.展开更多
