Abstract

Manganese leaching was carried out on a small pilot scale with 110 kg of ore using manganese-reducing organisms and fermentative organisms with biomass (Typha latifolia) as the source of nutrition. This study was carried out without externally supplied chemical reagents and with minimal capital investment. The process involves fermentative organisms to ferment biomass from T. latifolia and generate organic acids. Manganese-reducing organisms and organic acids reduced and dissolved manganese from pyrolusite ore. Manganese was precipitated from the manganese-bearing solution using an electrolytic oxidation technique.

A manganese concentration above 500 mg/L and negligible dissolved iron was achieved at a flow rate of 30 L/day, maintaining a pH range of 4 to 5, and a redox potential between 0.10 and 0.46 V. Manganese oxide was produced at a rate of 12 g/day, with a purity of 90 %. Amorphous manganese oxide was deposited on the cathode, while crystalline manganese oxide formed on the anode.

期刊介绍： Hydrometallurgy aims to compile studies on novel processes, process design, chemistry, modelling, control, economics and interfaces between unit operations, and to provide a forum for discussions on case histories and operational difficulties. Topics covered include: leaching of metal values by chemical reagents or bacterial action at ambient or elevated pressures and temperatures; separation of solids from leach liquors; removal of impurities and recovery of metal values by precipitation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, gaseous reduction, cementation, electro-winning and electro-refining; pre-treatment of ores by roasting or chemical treatments such as halogenation or reduction; recycling of reagents and treatment of effluents.
