The microbiological oxidation of synthetic chalcocite and covellite has been investigated using an adapted strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Biodegradation of chalcocite was found to be 90 to 100% and that of covellite 45 to 60%. Optimum conditions for the oxidation of chalcocite were: pH, 1.7 to 2.3; temperature, 35 C; and ferric iron concentration in the range of 0.004 to 0.01 M. For covellite, the optimum conditions were: pH 2.3; temperature, 35 C; and ferric iron concentration in the range of 0.004 to 0.02 M. The energies of activation were determined to be 16.3 kcal (ca. 6.8 X 10(4) J) per mol and 11.7 kcal (ca. 4.8 X 10(4) J) per mol for chalcocite and covellite, respectively.
利用一株经过驯化的氧化亚铁硫杆菌,对合成辉铜矿和铜蓝的微生物氧化作用进行了研究。发现辉铜矿的生物降解率为90%至100%,铜蓝的生物降解率为45%至60%。氧化辉铜矿的最佳条件为:pH值1.7至2.3;温度35℃;三价铁浓度在0.004至0.01M范围内。对于铜蓝,最佳条件为:pH值2.3;温度35℃;三价铁浓度在0.004至0.02M范围内。确定辉铜矿和铜蓝的活化能分别为每摩尔16.3千卡(约6.8×10⁴焦耳)和每摩尔11.7千卡(约4.8×10⁴焦耳)。
