Oxidation of Ferrous Iron and Elemental Sulfur by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The oxidation of ferrous iron and elemental sulfur by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans that was absorbed and unabsorbed onto the surface of sulfur prills was studied. Unadsorbed sulfur-grown cells oxidized ferrous iron at a rate that was 3 to 7 times slower than that of ferrous iron-grown cells, but sulfur-grown cells were able to reach the oxidation rate of the ferrous iron-adapted cells after only 1...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of the oxidation of ferrous iron or sulfur in Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The oxidation of either ferrous iron or sulfur by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was selectively inhibited or controlled by various anions, inhibitors, and osmotic pressure. Iron oxidation was more sensitive than sulfur oxidation to inhibition by chloride, phosphate, and nitrate at low concentrations (below 0.1 M) and also to inhibition by azide and cyanide. Sulfur oxidation was more sensitive than ...
متن کاملKinetics 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 کاملOxidation of Ferrous Sulfate by Growing Cultures of Thiobacillus Ferrooxidans
Oxidation of ferrous iron in acid solutions is an important reaction producing soluble ferric iron. The oxidizing property makes the ferric ion one of the most useful reagents in hydrometallurgy. The ferrous iron oxidation kinetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growing in batch culture was examined. T. ferrooxidans oxidized ferrous iron at pH 1.5 in the presence of oxygen and utilized carbon dio...
متن کاملFerrous Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans: Inhibition with Benzoic Acid, Sorbic Acid, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Benzoic acid, sorbic acid, and sodium lauryl sulfate at low concentrations (5 to 10 mg/liter) each effectively inhibited bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron in batch cultures of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The rate of chemical oxidation of ferrous iron in low-pH, sterile batch reactors was not substantially affected at the tested concentrations (5 to 50 mg/liter) of any of the compounds.
