摘要
Among the methods used to remove metals and their compounds from landfill leachates with low application costs and high efficiency are bioleaching and biosorption. The most effective bacteria used in the metal removal process are Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans. The aim of the study was to determine the usefulness of the A. ferrooxidans and A. thiooxidans population in removing heavy metals from landfill leachate. In addition, development opportunities for bacterial population using landfill leachate as growth medium were identified. The substrate for the research was the raw leachate before the reverse osmosis process. In order to increase the efficiency of trace elements removal and recovery from leachate, variable combinations have been used which differ by the addition of sulfuric acid, A. ferrooxidans culture, A. thiooxidans culture, mixed culture containing populations of both bacteria, and elemental sulfur. Based on the research, it was found that the removal of heavy metals from leachate was a selective process. High bioleaching efficiency, from 80% to 90%, was obtained for all metals for which the sample acidification or sulfur addition was used. The simultaneous combination of both these additives turned out to be the most advantageous. The A. thiooxidans culture was the most effective in bioleaching reverse osmosis effluents. For the A. ferrooxidans culture used, much lower efficiencies were obtained, while by contrast, the use of mixed culture of two bacterium species had no significant effect.
