Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Bacillus bacterial cells took the form of cross-finger. Both iron and sulphur components precipitated on the cell wall. The iron component took the form of burs, whereas the sulphur component formed rosary-shaped materials. The sizes of iron materials ranged from 0.5 to 2.0 μm in diameter while those of sulphur materials ranged from 0.05 to 0.1μm in diameter. Next, potassium and hydroxyl in 9 K-medium reacted on both iron and sulphur components on the cell wall.
Cubic or platy jarosite, 0.1 to 5.0μm in diameter, was formed within 3 days. Jarosite of final products changed to reform rosary or parallel crystalline materials. Potassium in jarosite was substituted for ammonia to form ammoniojarosite within 5 days.
Jarosite was produced by bacterial mineralization in 9 K-medium within 3 days, and those of ammoniojarosite within 5 days. Without Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, jarosite and ammoniojarosite were produced after 5 or 9 days respectively.
In conclusion the results suggest that Thiobacillus ferrooxidans contributes to the formation of jarosite and ammoniojarosite as catalyst.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Thiobacillus ferrooxidans contributes to the formation of jarosite and ammoniojarosite as catalyst.
- Executive summary:
Jarosite KFe3(SO4)2(OH)6 and ammoniojarosite NH4Fe3(SO4)2(OH)6 were experimentaly formed in 9 K-medium with gram negative, obligately autotrophic and aerobic Proteobacteria (Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) at 33 ℃ under acidic condition. The product shows characteristic peaks of jarosite at 3.08, 1.99 and 1.83 A and those of ammoniojarosite at 3.09, 5.12, 1.98 and 1.83 A in use X-ray powder diffraction and electron diffraction pattern. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observations revealed the crystal growth processes of these minerals.
