Abstract

The invention discloses a method to remove passivating film on the surface of copper pyrite with sulfur oxidizing bacteria during the course of microbial immersion ore, which is characterized by the following: screening acidophilic and thermophilic thiobacillus bacteria; forming recombination bacterial with iron hook end spirillum; improving the dipping speed and dipping ratio of copper pyrite greatly compared to composite bacterial and pure iron hook end spirillum; collecting elemental sulfur on the surface of copper pyrite generated by metabolism of iron-oxidizing bacteria; forming passivating film to prevent further extraction; oxidizing elemental sulfur to sulfur acid under existion of sulfur oxidizing bacteria; accelerating the dissolvent of copper pyrite. This technology can be used to exploit above 70% copper pyrite of our country.

Description

[technical field] [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of composite strain that uses sulfur oxidizing bacteria and iron oxidizing bacteria to eliminate the passivation film formed on the chalcopyrite surface due to the metabolism of iron oxidizing bacteria in the process of microbial leaching, thereby improving the copper leaching rate and leaching rate method. [Background technique] [0002] The modern industrial application of biometallurgy mainly has two aspects: the bioleaching of copper sulfide ore began in the 1950s; the pre-oxidation technology of refractory gold ore has been widely used in the gold industry for more than 20 years. At present, almost all sulfide ores such as uranium, manganese, lead, nickel, cobalt, zinc, arsenic, and iron can be leached by bacteria. Chalcopyrite, which accounts for more than 70% of my country's copper ore resources, is the most difficult primary sulfide mineral to be oxidized by bacteria. Especially in the process of bact...
