✦ Synopsis

A structured model for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growth dependence on ferrous and ferric iron, ar- senic, oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and temperature is presented. A new kinetic mechanism for ferrous oxidation by T. ferrooxidans is introduced. Data from several earlier experimental studies of T. ferrooxidans growth are used for model development.

The kinetics of bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron in the presence of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans cells were studied using an initial-rate method. Measurements of the redox potential of the solution during the oxidation of ferrous iron were used to assess the initial rate of the reaction. Effects on
