One-step disposal of Cr (Ⅵ)-bearing wastewater by natural pyrrhotite

Cr(VI)-bearing wastewater can be treated by natural pyrrhotite which is used for reductant to reduce Cr(VI) and precipitant to precipitate Cr(III) simultaneously. The disposal products can be divided into three parts in the beakers, namely supernatant in the upper part, the yellowish colloidal precipitates in the middle part and the pyrrhotite in the lower part. The content of total Cr=Cr(VI)+Cr(III) in the supernatant liquid is 0.06 mg/L, which is lower than 1.5 mg/L of the discharge standard of China and near to 0.05 mg/L of the standard of potable water. This one-step disposal composing of both reduction and precipitation which is traditionally divided into two independent steps called reducing technology and precipitating technology respectively. The new method is of obvious economic advantage and favourable to decreasing surplus mud derived from adding Ca(OH)₂ to precipitate Cr(III) traditionally so as to avoid recontamination. In fact, sodium sulfite (Na₂SO₃) used in disposal of Cr(VI) was traditionally produced from natural mineral of pyrrhotite (FeS). One molecule of FeS is 4 times more than that of Na₂SO₃ from a view point of rational use of mineral resources. Therefore the prospective of application of the one-step disposal of Cr(VI) method is full of promise.

三种硫化铁单矿物的细菌氧化过程研究

载金的硫化铁矿物成分主要是黄铁矿,其次是磁黄铁矿和镍黄铁矿.三种单矿物分布在金矿石中的含量不同,细菌氧化周期也随之改变.试验表明,三种矿物氧化过程均产酸,黄铁矿被细菌直接氧化,溶液中细菌浓度较小;磁黄铁矿和镍黄铁矿除受细菌直接氧化,被Fe3+间接氧化也很显著.黄铁矿氧化时间大致是其他两种矿物的3倍,因而工业配矿可酌量降低富含黄铁矿之金精矿用量.本试验通过研究三种单矿物各自的细菌氧化过程,为成分复杂金精矿的细菌浸出工业实践提供了重要理论依据.

Bio-oxidation of pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

This paper deals with the bio-oxidation processes by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans of pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. Our experimental results show distinctive bio-oxidation characteristics for the three sulfide minerals. In the presence of A. ferrooxidans, the sulfide oxidation rates generally decrease in the order of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite. The pH during bio-oxidation of pyrite tends to decrease as a whole, whereas a rise-fall pattern was recorded for both chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite in their pH variations. No deposition was observed during the bio-oxidation of pyrite, suggesting a possible link to lower pH value in the process. However, large amounts of jarosite and element sulfur were determined in the bio-oxidation processes of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. A. ferrooxidans individuals were found directly as attachments to erosion pits on the smooth surface of pyrite. The erosion pits are similar to the bacterium in shape and length, and thus are probably products of dissolution of organic acid secreted by the cells on the mineral surface. More complicatedly, biofilm exists on the surfaces of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. This type of structured community of A. ferrooxidans is enclosed in the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and covered with the deposition generated in the bio-oxidation processes of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. Different bio-oxidation processes of pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite may be linked mainly to characteristics of individual minerals and the pH in the reaction solution of the bio-oxidation system.     

含镍磁黄铁矿尾矿氧化动力学及机理研究

X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, and mass spectrometry have been used to study the products of nickel-containing pyrrhotite tailings oxidation by oxygen in the air. The kinetic triplets of oxidation, namely, activation energy (E_a), pre-exponential factor (A), and reaction model (f(α)) being a function of the conversion degree (α), were adjusted by regression analysis. In case of a two-stage process representation, the first step proceeds under autocatalysis control and ends at α = 0.42. The kinetic triplet in the first step is E_a = 262.2 kJ/mol, lg A = 14.53 s?1, and f(α) = (1 – α)4.11(1 + 1.51 × 10–4α). For the second step, the process is controlled by the two-dimensional diffusion of the reactants in the layer of oxidation products. The kinetic triplet in the second step is Е_a = 215.0 kJ/mol, lg A = 10.28 s?1, and f(α) = (–ln(1 – α))–1. The obtained empirical formulae for the rate of pyrrhotite tailings oxidation reliably describe the macro-mechanism of the process and can be used to design automatization systems for roasting these materials.

巷道磁黄铁矿尘在人体呼吸道的沉积规律模拟研究

为揭示磁黄铁矿尘在施工现场人体呼吸道的沉积规律,以安徽某金属矿采样巷道磁黄铁矿矿样为研究对象,运用Fluent等软件,建立人体呼吸道三维模型,对不同作业区域运输和铲装2种不同工艺流程下、不同质量浓度的磁黄铁矿尘在人体呼吸道的颗粒沉积进行模拟。结果表明,不同呼吸强度、不同工艺、不同粒径下的磁黄铁矿主要沉积在人体的咽喉以及气管部分,当矿尘粒径大于5.456μm时,即作业人员在巷道中距离风口较近的作业区域作业时,矿尘将全部沉积在人体呼吸道中。人体呼吸道的总颗粒沉积率随颗粒质量浓度的上升出现先下降而后波动稳定的规律,随颗粒粒径与呼吸强度的增加而增加,距运输巷道风口越远总沉积率越小。基于磁黄铁矿尘在人体呼吸道沉积规律及实际工况,提出了相应的防护措施。
