摘要：
The oxidation of sulfide minerals is of central importance due to the acid mine drainage (AMD) production. The bio-oxidation of pyrrhotite, pyrite, marcasite, and arsenopyrite was carried out with mesophilic bacteria (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, A. thiooxidans, and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans) at 34 °C for 30 days. Bio-oxidation tests showed that marcasite has a high potential in producing AMD compared to pyrrhotite. Arsenopyrite has different behavior in the presence and the absence of additives (i.e., FeSO4·7H2O and sulfur). While the absence of additives increased the nickel and zinc dissolution, their presence increased the total iron dissolution. Sulfur and jarosite were observed on the surfaces of pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. With the formation of these passivation layers, the continuous iron extraction is effectively suppressed. This study is helpful to comparatively evaluate the AMD production of sulfide minerals in an oxidizing environment and to study the effects of passivation layers on their biooxidation in different conditions. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
