Degradation of oil shale by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.
Approximately 40% of oil shale can be solubilized by the action of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Thiobacillus concretivorous are equally effective in solubilization. Continuous leaching experiments show that this process can be completed within 14 days. The growth of Thiobacillus and the production of acid were measured under several conditions. Almost all of the CaMg(...
متن کاملBioleaching of Heavy Metals by Sulfur Oxidizing Bacteria: A Review
Bioleaching, a novel biotechnological process, is used to eliminate heavy metals from contaminated sediments by acidification as well as solubilization of heavy metals. Metals from poor-quality ore and mineral compounds are removed by Bioleaching process, which is simple and low cost effective technology. Acidophilic sulfur oxidizing bacteria (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus t...
متن کاملColorless sulfur oxidizing bacteria from diverse habitats
Colorless sulfur oxidizing bacteria comprise an important part of sulfur cycle in nature and hold significant value for biotechnological applications such as, increasing soil fertility, reduction of environmental pollution by biologically oxidizing toxic sulfides present in waste waters from different industries and sewage, leaching of economically important metals from poor ores. Present artic...
متن کاملDenitrification by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria in a eutrophic lake
Understanding the mechanistic controls of microbial denitrification is of central importance to both environmental microbiology and ecosystem ecology. Loss of nitrate (NO3) is often attributed to carbon-driven (heterotrophic) denitrification. However, denitrification can also be coupled to sulfur (S) oxidation by chemolithoautotrophic bacteria. In the present study, we used an in situ stable is...
متن کاملRemoval of bacteria by adsorbents prepared from moroccan oil shale
In this communication, we present the results of a study on the process optimization for the development of adsorbents from oil shale Moroccan of Timahdit layer (Y) and their application to the elimination of certain types of bacteria contained in the domestic liquid wastes. The adsorbents prepared thermally are characterized by different physico-chemical techniques and their performance adsorp...
