The results show that the presence of S. metallicus effectively enhances the dissolution of the mineral. The yield of zinc increases from 0.5 g/L in sterile control to 2.7 g/L in bioleaching. The pyrite in the concentrate facilitates zinc dissolution in the early stage, but has hindrance role in the late stage for the formation of jarosite. Sulfur speciation analyses show that jarosite and elemental sulfur are main products in bioleaching process, and the accumulation ofjarosite is mainly responsible for the decline of leaching efficiency.展开更多

The composition, morphology and structural features of the hydrothermal products were examined with X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）. The experimental results indicate that in the conditions of n（NaOH）/n（MgSO4） of 1.25, the dosage of w（Na3PO4） crystal additives of 1.0% w（MgSO4）, stirring for 5 h at 180 ℃, the morphology of MgSO4·5Mg（OH）2·2H2O products is flaky and laminar, which is a kind of complex magnesium singlecrystal. The recycling of MgSO4 mother liquor was also investigated to make a full use of the materials and reduce disposal. The results prove that there is no adverse effect on the yield and purity of the products.展开更多
