Rheology and Hydrodynamics of Iron Ore Mineral Pulps during a Bioleaching Process in a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor 2023 Chemical Engineering and Technology Review Biotechnological Potential of As and Zn Resistant Autochthonous Microorganisms from Mining Process
Biogenic cyanide did not work on iron containing low grade ore in the first few days of the bioleaching period This could have been due to ferrocyanide complexation which would prevent the cyanide from reacting with the gold After ten days of bioleaching all of the iron was removed by the cyanide and cyanide bonded with the gold was produced
This was attributed to balanced iron and sulfur oxidation thereby reducing by product jarosites formation and minimizing surface passivation The mechanisms underlying pyritic ore bioleaching has been well studied and lately this has incorporated information gleaned from genomic databases Ibanez et al 2023 Lewis and Willard 2023
In mining industries biomining comprising biooxidation and bioleaching is implemented to extract metals from specific ores and waste streams with less environmental effect and expense Usually micron sized gold particles are held in a crystal lattice of iron sulfide minerals and expensively extracted using common approaches Researchers and industries
Bioleaching is the metal extracting practice from sulfides and/or iron containing ores by means of microorganisms It is a specified biohydrometallurgical approach in which either the metabolic activities or microbe s products are used to convert insoluble compounds into soluble form which can then be recovered later [] Biological product synthesis by these
Dephosphorization of iron ore can be achieved through bioleaching Different methods are needed to remove phosphorus from iron ore depending on whether it is present as a mineral apatite or associated with iron minerals Edwards et al 2011 Although most phosphorus occurs entrapped within goethite in Australian iron ores a considerable
The DOCs can be generated through cell lysis or can be entrapped in heap ore bioleaching through the solvent extraction Besides in case of waste sludge bioleaching the high DOCs from organic sludge may hinder the activity of chemolithotrophic microbes In iron based bioleaching mechanism reduced sulfur and iron compounds are oxidized
Introduction The first report in this recurring series on microbial processes in the minerals industries was published in 2003 Olson et al 2003 followed by an update after 10 years Brierley and Brierley 2013 with bioleaching and biooxidation of sulfide minerals primarily copper in the case of bioleaching and refractory gold ores biooxidation matured to represent
Iron ore is the raw material for steel production in addition to iron and slag major component still contains sulfur and phosphorus compounds and other harmful elements is the potential adverse effects of factors constitute the steel product quality and environment Sulfur in iron ores into the steel products will not only produce "heat brittle" phenomenon but also in the sintering process
Bioleaching does not recover the precious metals in the ore The precious metals are often an important component in the profitability of the operation The requirement for the smelter to produce acid for conventional leaching and to supplement bioleaching if the ore body is high in acid consuming minerals
Iron ore microbiological strain and culture medium The iron ore was obtained from a mine in Monclova Coahuila Mexico The mineralogy of the iron ore was the same as reported by Núñez Ramírez et al [] For the bioleaching process a native strain taken from mining effluents in the locality was used which was grown in a 9k medium with the
This was attributed to balanced iron and sulfur oxidation thereby reducing by product jarosites formation and minimizing surface passivation The mechanisms underlying pyritic ore bioleaching has been well studied and lately this has incorporated information gleaned from genomic databases Ibanez et al 2023 Lewis and Willard 2023
Iron bioleaching by acidophiles such as A ferrooxidans occurs through thiosulphate or polysulphide pathways by oxidation of Fe 2 to Fe 3 and reduction 2012 One step bioleaching of sulphide ore with low concentration of arsenic by Aspergillus niger and Taguchi orthogonal array optimization Chin J Chem Eng 20 923 929 https //
The copper mine industry is facing with the need to process low grade ores using low cost technologies to meet global demand unceasingly Faramarzi et al 2020 As an economical and environmental friendly method bioleaching has been exploited to liberate metals such as copper iron and nickel from low grade ores in some mining area Panda et al 2015
Dephosphorization of high phosphorus iron ore is an unsolved problem worldwide so far Biotechnology could be a cost effective and environment friendly way to solve this problem A novel method for bioleaching of phosphorus from high phosphorus iron ores using indigenous sulfur oxidizing bacteria from municipal wastewaters was first reported in this work
As the world s second largest economy experiencing rapid economic growth China has a huge demand for metals and energy In recent years China ranks first among all the countries in the world in the production and consumption of several metals such as copper gold and rare earth elements Bioleaching which is an approach for mining low grade and refractory
This study examined the shift of microbial communities and S&Fe cycling in three subsystems within a copper ore bioleaching system leaching heap LH leaching solution LS and sediment under LS revealing the microbial community and functional structures in all four subsystems of the copper ore Bioleaching has been employed commercially to recover
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a Gram negative γ proteobacterium that thrives optimally at 30°C and pH 2 but can grow at pH 1 or lower [] It is abundant in natural environments associated with pyritic ore bodies coal deposits and their acidified drainages [2 3] It is an important member of microbial consortia used to recover copper via a process known
The main chemical components of the raw uranium ore samples are presented in Table shown in Table 2 the proportions of Fe 2 O 3 and FeO in uranium ore were % and % respectively indicating that the content of Fe in the ore was relatively high and mostly existed in the form of Fe 3 accounting for 57% of the total content of S 2− was
The global lithium market is expected to rise about 87% by 2025 due to the envisaged expansion of lithium ion batteries LIBs in electromobility technologies for transportation and large scale energy storage sectors as well as portable devices Razmjou 2019 Razmjou 2020 The market demand will accelerate then up to 900 k tons per year in the
In the context of this study our objective was to investigate the feasibility of employing bioleaching as a method for dephosphorizing iron ore specifically sourced from Balochistan The chosen microorganism for this bioleaching process was Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans renowned for its ability to facilitate metal solubilization
The pretreatment of the solid sample before the spectrophotometric determination was given as follows About 1 g of iron ore sample or bioleaching solid residue was weighed and placed into a 150 mL of Teflon beaker 20 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to the beaker The beaker was covered with a Teflon lid and heated on a hot
Bioleaching of enargite like chalcopyrite is thermodynamically less favourable than bioleaching of chalcocite or pyrite As a consequence even the suite of microorganisms suited to bioleaching of these primary copper sulfides is different with higher growth temperatures and preference for using reduced sulfur rather than iron as electron donor seemingly being
