Microbiological Oxidation of the Waste Ferrous Sulphate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ferrous sulphate, a waste product in titanium white production at the Chemical Plant "Police" S.A., was subjected to microbiological oxidation with Thiobacillus ferrooxidans bacteria. The kinetic parameters of the culture growth were calculated on the basis of the Monod equation. The process was found to be best described by the model of the autocatalytic 1st order reaction with respect to the product and 1st order reaction with respect to the substrate. The effect of temperature and pH on the course of the process was studied. The kinetics of oxidation of ferrous ions coming from the waste ferrous sulphate was studied in the process with laboratory bacteria strain as well as the strain adapted to the waste product and compared with that of pure substrate oxidation. Analysis of the precipitates formed during microbiological oxidation of the waste ferrous sulphate proved that (NH4)Fe3(SO4)2(OH)6 with the admixture of NaFe3(SO4)2(OH)6 and KFe3(SO4)2(OH)6 were formed.

Diffusion measurement in ferrous infused gel dosimeters
Background: The compositions of Ferrous sulphate, Agarose and Xylenol orange dye (FAX) and Ferrous sulphate, Gelatin and Xylenol orange dye (FGX) in solution of distilled water and sulphuric acid are two tissue-equivalent gel dosimeters. Ionizing radiation causes oxidation of Fe2+ ion to Fe3+ ions which diffuse through the gel matrix and blur the image of absorbed dose over a period of hours af...

متن کاملWeathering of waste rock in different climatic conditions – a kinetic freeze/thaw and humidity cell experiment
Ferrous and ferric sulphates and (oxy)hydroxides can grow on pyrite surfaces and slow oxidation rates. However, in northern climates, repeated freeze/thaw cycles can cause cracks, channeling and exposure of new surfaces. In the present study, weathering in a repeated freeze/thaw experiment was compared to a regular humidity cell experiment. Introductory results (after 17 weeks) show very small ...

The immobilization of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans cells on ceramic beads as carrier is described. The effects of ferrous ion concentration and dilution on the kinetics of ferrous ion oxidation in a packed-bed bioreactor were studied. In a medium containing 13.91 g of ferrous ion per litre, the fastest oxidation rate was 4.21 g L–1 at a dilution rate of 0.8 h–1. The corresponding conversion w...
