Kinetics of Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
A statistical relationship between the rate of ferric ion production by a strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and various levels of cell concentration, Fe concentration, Na concentration, and temperature was studied by a direct colorimetric method at 304 nm. The relationship was linear (90 to 93%), cross-product (3 to 4%), and quadratic (1 to 2%). The levels of cell concentration and Fe concent...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a gram-negative, highly acidophilic (pH 1.5 to 2.0), autotrophic bacterium that obtains its energy through the oxidation of ferrous iron or reduced inorganic sulfur compounds. It is usually dominant in the mixed bacterial populations that are used industrially for the extraction of metals such as copper and uranium from their ores. More recently, these bacterial con...
متن کاملAnaerobic Growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The obligately autotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was grown on elemental sulfur in anaerobic batch cultures, using ferric iron as an electron acceptor. During anaerobic growth, ferric iron present in the growth media was quantitatively reduced to ferrous iron. The doubling time in anaerobic cultures was approximately 24 h. Anaerobic growth did not occur in the absence of elemental...
متن کاملRole of Ferrous Ions in Synthetic Cobaltous Sulfide Leaching of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
Microbiological leaching of synthetic cobaltous sulfide (CoS) was investigated with a pure strain of Thiobacillus ferroxidans. The strain could not grow on CoS-salts medium in the absence of ferrous ions (Fe). However, in CoS-salts medium supplemented with 18 mM Fe, the strain utilized both Fe and the sulfur moiety in CoS for growth, resulting in an enhanced solubilization of Co. Cell growth on...
متن کاملThe Use of Thiobacillus Ferrooxidans Bacteria in the Process of Chalcopyrite Leaching
The use of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans bacteria in the process of copper and iron leaching from chalcopyrite coming from Kotlina Ktodzka was investigated. The influence of the mineral content in the leaching solution the pH value and refinement of chalcopyrite on the subsequent stages of leaching was established. The process was described by the 1st order reaction inhibited by one of the products...
