Abstract:
:The influence of solution Eh on the rate of ferrous iron oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is characterized. The experimental approach was based on the use of a two-chamber bioelectrochemical cell, which can determine the ferrous iron oxidation rate at controlled potential. Results enabled the formulation of a novel kinetic model, which incorporates the effect of solution Eh in an explicit form but still integrates the effect of ferrous iron concentration and ferric inhibition. The results showed that at Eh values below 650 mV (standard hydrogen electrode, SHE) the bacterial oxidative activity is mainly dependent on ferrous iron concentration. At Eh values between 650 and 820 mV (SHE) the oxidation rate is mainly controlled by ferric inhibition. Over 820 mV (SHE) the bacterial oxidative activity is strongly inhibited by the Eh increase, being completely inhibited at Eh = 840 mV (SHE).
