The ferrous-iron oxidation kinetics of a bacterial culture consisting predominantly of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans were studied in continuous-flow bioreac- tors. The bacterial culture was fed with a salts solution containing 12 g/L ferrous-iron, at dilution rates ranging from 0.01 to 0.06 l/h, and t

It is generally accepted that iron-oxidizing bacteria, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, enhance chalcopyrite leaching. However, this article details a case of the bacteria suppressing chalcopyrite leaching. Bacterial leaching experiments were performed with sulfuric acid solutions containing 0 or 0.04 mol
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
## Abstract Biomining is the use of microorganisms to catalyze metal extraction from sulfide ores. However, the available water in some biomining environments has high chloride concentrations and therefore, chloride toxicity to ferrous oxidizing microorganisms has been investigated. Batch biooxidat
A simple kinetic model was developed for describing nitrite oxidation by autotrophic aerobic nitrifiers in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), in which mixed (suspended and attached) growth conditions prevail. The CSTR system was operated under conditions of constant nitrite feed concentration
