Oxidação da calcopirita (CuFe S'IND.2') por Acidithiobacillus ferooxidans em presença de cisteína e de Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans

Abstract

Bioleaching is the solubilization and recovery of metals from sulfides minerals promoted by bacterial metabolism. Although Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans are the most studied bacteria, other species contribute to that process. Despite the bioleaching has been utilized for long time, only in the 1950´s the active participation of bacteria was demonstrated. Copper bioleaching is the classical industrial application example, although gold, uranium and nickel have been produced by that technique. Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) is the most abundant copper mineral the most refractory as such. Thus, there is an enormous interest in developing alternatives to optimize this sulfide solubilization. The effect of cysteine on the chalcopyrite dissolution in the presence of A. ferrooxidans and A. thiooxidans was evaluated in this study. Respirometric assays were used initially to test the effects of cysteine in the ferrous or chalcopyrite oxidation by A. ferrooxidans at pH 1.8 in the following amino acid concentrations: 0, 10-1, 10-3, 10-5, 10-7 mol L-1. In both cases, only 10-1 mol L-1 of cysteine was inhibitory to the bacterial oxidation and in the other concentrations a slight increase in the initial oxidation rate was observed, comparing to the control in absence of this amino acid. In growth experiments utilizing ferrous ion as substrate and in the same concentrations of cysteine, 10-3 and 10-5 mol L-1 established an increase in the rate of bacterial growth. These cysteine concentrations were selected to run bioleaching tests through shaking flasks technique. Previously, A. ferrooxidans was acclimated to growth in medium containing only chalcopyrite as substrate, by progressive ferrous iron substitution as energy source. Acclimated A. ferrooxidans cells were utilized in shaking flasks experiments in several conditions such as, inoculation or not... (Complete abstract click electronic access below

O processo de biolixiviação é a utilização de bactérias, para a solubilização dos metais presentes em sulfetos minerais. As espécies mais estudadas são o Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans e o Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, embora outras espécies também participem do processo. Esse processo é aplicado há muito tempo, mas somente nos anos 1950 a participação de microorganismos foi descoberta. A biolixiviação de cobre é um exemplo de aplicação industrial, embora outros metais como ouro, urânio e o níquel, venham sendo obtidos por esse método. A calcopirita (CuFeS2) é o mais abundante mineral de cobre e também o mais refratário ao ataque químico ou bacteriano. Dessa forma, existe um grande interesse no desenvolvimento de alternativas para otimizar a solubilização desse sulfeto. Neste trabalho investigou-se a avaliação do efeito do aminoácido cisteína na biolixiviação de uma amostra de calcopirita utilizando linhagens de A. ferrooxidans e A. thiooxidans. Inicialmente foram realizados testes de respirometria celular com A. ferrooxidans e sulfato ferroso como substrato em diferentes concentrações de cisteína (0, 10-1, 10-3, 10-5, 10-7 mol L-1) para avaliar o efeito inibitório da cisteína na atividade da bactéria. Somente 10-1 mol L-1 provocou uma inibição significativa na oxidação do íon ferroso pela bactéria. A seguir foram realizados ensaios utilizando a calcopirita como substrato, na presença das mesmas concentrações de cisteína. A cisteína em 10-1 mmol L-1 também determinou inibição significativa na oxidação do mineral. As demais concentrações provocaram um aumento na velocidade inicial de oxidação do sulfeto em comparação com o controle na ausência de cisteína. Em ensaios de crescimento da bactéria na presença de meio contendo o íon ferroso, foram obtidos resultados semelhantes aos anteriores, destacando-se...
