Source control of acid mine drainage production by sulfate reducing bacteria community: Effect and mechanism
The application of the sulfate-reducing bacteria community (SRBC) for acid mine drainage (AMD) bioremediation has attracted growing interest. However, its potential for in situ suppression of acid generation from mine waste rocks remains unexplored. This study investigates the oxygen-inhibition and acid-control capabilities of SRBC using a low-cost carbon source (extract LP and alkali-pretreated peanut shells) through a series of static experiments. Results demonstrate that SRBC effectively suppresses acid production in waste rocks, achieving a 92 % inhibition rate for pyrite oxidation and maintaining pH above 6 for over 35 days. Even in the presence of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (At.f), SRBC keep the pH above 6 and the oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) below −150 mV, confirming its robust inhibitory effect. Microbial community analysis revealed enhanced richness and diversity following pyrite exposure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses further indicate that SRBC mitigates acid generation by reducing SO42− to S2−, which subsequently precipitates with Fe ions as metal sulfides. This study highlights SRBC’s cost-effective and sustainable potential for in situ waste rock stabilization, providing a foundation for its practical implementation in mine remediation.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide for the rapid publication of topical papers featuring the latest developments in the allied fields of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Its wide ranging coverage of research and practical (operating) topics includes physical separation methods, such as comminution, flotation concentration and dewatering, chemical methods such as bio-, hydro-, and electro-metallurgy, analytical techniques, process control, simulation and instrumentation, and mineralogical aspects of processing. Environmental issues, particularly those pertaining to sustainable development, will also be strongly covered.
