Thiobacillus ferrooxidans immobilised in biomass support particles with activated carbon coating were used in a packed-bed bioreactor to study the combined effects of chemical and biological catalysis on the oxidation of ferrous iron. The effect of ferrous iron concentration (in the range 5ยฑ 30 kg m

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
We have developed a mixed system, electrochemical-microbiological, that can be used for detoxifying organic compounds present in wastewater. In this system, organic matter oxidation takes place at the anode of an electrochemical reactor while ferric iron reduction takes place at the cathode. We have
