Oxidation of gallium sulfides by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans
Can J Microbiol.
1978 Jul.
Abstract
The bacterial oxidation of naturally occurring gallium-bearing chalcopyrite concentrate and a pure synthetic gallium (III) sulfide has been investigated at pH 1.8 and 35 degree C, using an active culture of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. This oxidation process may proceed by direct or by indirect bacterial action. The highest dissolved gallium and copper concentrations were about 2.2 and 40.2 g/l, respectively. The order of the specific rate of oxygen uptake by T. ferrooxidans in approximately CuFES2 greater than or equal to gallium-bearing CuFeS2 greater than FeS2 greater than Cu2S greater than Cu2S greater than Ga2S3.
