多金属硫化精矿中铜、锌和铁的生物浸出

摘要

Bioleaching of low-grade complex Cu−Zn−Pb−Fe−Ag−Au sulphide concentrate (of Majdanpek ore body, RTB Bor, Serbia) was carried out in an aerated bioleach reactor in the presence of mesophilic mixed bacterial culture ofAcidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, andLeptospirillum ferrooxidans. A mesophilic acidophiles culture was isolated from the acidic solution of the underground copper mine of Bor, Serbia. The nutrient medium was 9K at pH 1.6. 87% of the particles were<10 µm in size, with a pulp density of 8% (w/v). Bioleaching efficiencies of 89% for zinc, 83% for copper, and 68% for iron can be achieved in the examined conditions. Kinetic analysis shows that the change in leaching corresponds to the Spencer-Topley kinetic model for diffusion-controlled topochemical reactions.%利用嗜温混合菌Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans和 Leptospirillum ferrooxidans对低品位复杂Cu−Zn−Pb−Fe−Ag−Au硫化精矿在曝气生物浸出反应器中进行生物浸出。该菌种为从塞尔维亚Bor地下铜矿的酸性溶液中筛选出一种嗜热嗜酸菌。营养液为pH 1.6的9K营养液。87%的矿物粒度大于10μm，矿浆密度为8%(w/v)。在测试条件下，锌、铜和铁的浸出率分别达到89%、83%和68%。动力学分析表明，浸出过程与Spencer-Topley模型相符，受局部反应扩散控制。
