  • Iron oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

    Creator:
    Kang, Sun Ki
    Abstract:
    The bacterium most frequently used in microbial leaching processes and studies is Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Applications of this bacterium include the treatment of coal, low-grade ores and industrial solid wastes for the solubilization of pyrite and other trace metals associated with sulfides. The goal of this study was the development of...

  • Bioleaching of coal in a fluidized bed

    Creator:
    Knott, John A.
    Abstract:
    Illinois coal ground to 80-200 mesh was leached with a low phosphate, high nitrogen medium containing a mixture of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and thiooxidans in a fluidized bed. Coal slurries of 20-160 g/L were treated in a 5 cm ID, 9.5 m high continuous loop bioreactor with crossovers at top and...
