The invention discloses a method for reinforcing the microbiological leaching effect of
zinc blende. The method comprises the steps of 1, smashing
zinc blende sample ore into particles and smashing iron
pyrite sample ore and / or
copper pyrite sample ore to be added into particles; 2, sterilizing a culture medium, the
zinc blende and iron pyrites and / or
copper pyrites to be added at high temperature and
high pressure; 3, adding the sterilized zinc blende into a
shake flask containing the culture medium, then adding the iron pyrites or the
copper pyrites into the
shake flask and carrying out
inoculation of mineral leaching microorganisms; 4, placing the
shake flask in the step 3 on a constant-temperature
shaker for cultivation; 5, measuring the leaching efficiency of zinc in the leaching process. According to the method, by adding the iron pyrites in a microbiological leaching
system of the zinc blende, the pH value in solutions is low, the concentration of iron ions is high, the
redox potential is high, oxygenolysis of the zinc blende is reinforced under the synergistic effect of the microorganisms and physical and chemical factors, and the leaching efficiency of the zinc can be improved obviously. The method provides technological guidance for efficient leaching of the zinc blende.
