Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, specifically relating to a bacterium called *H. t. 3'*, its preparation method, and its application in the efficient bioleaching of calcium magnesium silicate minerals. Background Technology

[0002] Mineral sequestration, as one of the most stable and long-lasting sequestration methods in CCUS (Carbonized Carbonate Sequestration System) technology, is a process that permanently solidifies CO2 into carbonate minerals through chemical reactions, making it particularly suitable for areas lacking geological sequestration conditions. The raw materials used are widely available, including natural silicate minerals (wollastonite, serpentine, pyroxene, olivine, anorthite, etc.) and alkaline solid wastes (iron slag, fly ash, etc.). Alkaline solid wastes have high reactivity and easily achieve high carbon sequestration effects, but their annual production only contributes about 5% of the total CO2 required for sequestration. Therefore, naturally distributed near-surface silicate minerals have become a more ideal raw material choice for mineral sequestration of CO2. However, these raw materials have poor reactivity and difficulty in leaching calcium and magnesium ions, thus limiting the mineral carbonation reaction rate. Mechanical grinding, calcination, and acid-base-salt leaching are commonly used to activate calcium and magnesium silicate minerals to promote the release of calcium and magnesium ions. However, these traditional physicochemical activation methods have drawbacks such as high pollution, high cost, and high energy consumption. Microbial weathering accelerates the leaching of calcium and magnesium ions from minerals, offering advantages such as low energy consumption, environmental friendliness, and mature technology compared to traditional physical and chemical activation treatments.

[0003] Therefore, developing microbial-enhanced calcium and magnesium ion leaching methods is particularly important for improving the CO2 fixation capacity of silicate minerals. Summary of the Invention
