摘要
A thermophilic species, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, strain BC, has been used for the bioleaching of refractory arsenical pyrite concentrates to enhance gold extraction in cyanidation. The results of laboratory batch tests on two concentrates are presented. In both cases gold extraction rates were greatly increased from below 11% with only cyanidation to over 90% with the bioleaching pretreatment. The behaviour of arsenopyrite and pyrite is described during the biooxidation course. Correlations are determined between the degree of the arsenopyrite/pyrite oxidation and the gold extraction rate.
