Ferrous Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans: Inhibition with Benzoic Acid, Sorbic Acid, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Immobilization of Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans on Monolithic Packing for Biooxidation of Ferrous Iron
The oxidation of ferrous iron (Fe2+) in solution using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has industrial applications exclusively in the regeneration of ferric iron (Fe3+) as an oxidizing agent for the removal of hydrogen sulfide from waste gases, desulfurization of coal, leaching of non-ferrous metallic sulfides and treatment of acid mine drainage. The aim of this investigation was to increase the...
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 کاملAutotrophic bacteria and the formation of acid in bituminous coal mines.
The passage of water through certain bituminous coal mines results in a solution which is extremely acid in reaction because of its high content of ferrous sulfate, some aluminum sulfate, and lesser amounts of manganese sulfate. The ferrous iron is subsequently rapidly oxidized to the ferric state by an autotrophic bacterium. Autotrophic bacteria have also been implicated in the formation of th...
متن کاملSynergistic Competitive Inhibition of Ferrous Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans by Increasing Concentrations of Ferric Iron and Cells.
Oxidation of ferrous iron by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans SM-4 was inhibited competitively by increasing concentrations of ferric iron or cells. A kinetic analysis showed that binding of one inhibitor did not exclude binding of the other and led to synergistic inhibition by the two inhibitors. Binding of one inhibitor, however, was affected by the other inhibitor, and the apparent inhibition const...
