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 results show that during the reaction process, the Si — O bond in Si O4 is destroyed, and the Na OH inserts itself into the silicate lattice,producing an immediate Na2 Zn Si O4 product. After the alkali leaching process, Zn2+ can be separated from the Si O4 array, which can be released out of the silicate in the form of ZnO.展开更多
