黄铜矿中等嗜热菌生物浸出

中图分类号:TD982       文献标志码:A

黄铜矿(CuFeS2)是一种重要的铜矿资源,在世界的硫化铜矿中约占70%[1-2]。从黄铜矿中提取铜的传统方法是火法冶金,但是焙烧会释放大量SO2等有害物质导致环境污染,相比之下采用生物冶金的方法提取铜是一种很好的手段[3],而如何有效地用生物浸出方法从黄铜矿中提取铜是人们所关注的[4-5]。然而,在浸出过程中,在黄铜矿表面会形成钝化膜,阻碍了浸出的进行[6]

在生物浸出过程中,浸矿菌种的选择是影响浸矿效果的一个关键因素。在中温菌浸出中,会在矿物表面形成大量元素硫、中间硫化产物和黄钾铁矾等物质,从而导致矿物的表面钝化,使铜的浸出率较低[7-12];并且在堆浸过程中,由于浸矿菌种自身的新陈代谢关系,会造成温度的积累,使反应体系局部温度升高,因此常温菌很难存活。而极端高温菌没有细胞壁,耐金属离子浓度、矿浆浓度较低,在较高的剪切力下较难存活[13-14]。中等嗜热菌有坚固的细胞壁结构,在槽浸中能耐受较高的矿浆浓度和金属离子浓度,在堆浸中能耐受45 ℃的相对高温。使用中等嗜热菌浸出黄铜矿,不仅可以显著改善浸出的反应动力学,加快反应速率,缩短浸出周期,而且浸出过程中产生的硫化产物则会溶解,从而提高铜的浸出速率和浸出率[15-19]。另有研究表明[20-25],与单菌浸出相比用混合菌进行浸出极大地提高了浸出率。搅拌浸出具有能快速有效地进行反应、易于调控、金属回收率高等优点。但对搅拌速率、通气强度等有较高要求,一般适用于处理小批量矿石或精矿[26]

温度、pH值、矿浆浓度、搅拌速率、充气强度等都对浸出有影响[27-29],本文作者通过对黄铜矿精矿浸出过程中的细菌生长条件(温度、初始pH值、对高矿浆浓度的驯化)及搅拌反应器条件(搅拌速率、充气强度)进行优化,达到提到浸出率的目的。

1  实验

1.1  矿样

实验中用的矿样来自中国云南省蒙自白牛厂矿区,样品进行了粉碎、磨矿并筛至粒径小于0.0074 mm。X射线衍射(XRD)和化学元素分析显示矿样由61.70%的CuFeS2、12.60%的闪锌矿(ZnS)、6.70%的氧化锡(SnO2)、3.90%的硫化铅(PbS)和3.70%的硫酸铅(PbSO4)组成,主要元素组成如下:Cu 21.46%、S 35.39%、Fe 23.90%、Zn 8.40%、Pb 5.02%(质量分数)。

1.2  微生物

本试验中采用的是3种中等嗜热菌:喜温硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus caldus,A.c)、嗜铁钩端螺旋菌(Leptospirillum ferriphilu,L.f)、嗜热氧化硫化杆菌(Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans,S.t)。这3种细菌是来自中国湖南长沙中南大学生物冶金菌种室。其中,A.c为硫氧化菌,L.f为亚铁氧化菌,S.t可同时氧化亚铁和硫。3株菌种使用改良9K培养基:((NH4)2SO4 3.0 g/L, Na2SO4 2.1 g/L, MgSO4·7H2O 0.5 g/L, K2HPO4 0.05 g/L, KCl 0.1 g/L 和Ca(NO3)2 0.01 g/L),另外添加20 g/L的硫酸亚铁(FeSO4)或5 g/L的单质硫(S0)为能源物质。3种中等嗜热菌混合培养(分别取1.5mL 菌浓度为1×108 mL-1的3种菌液,混合后接种到100 mL改良9K培养基中),形成共培养体系,随后试验都在此体系中进行。

1.3  菌种生长条件的优化

1.3.1  菌种最适生长温度的确定

将处于对数生长期的混合菌接种到改良9K培养基中,接种量为5%,设置温度梯度为37 ℃、41 ℃、45 ℃、49 ℃和53 ℃,将菌种置于此温度梯度的摇床中培养,转速为160 r/min。定时取样检测,采用血球计数板法,在光学显微镜(CX31RTSF)下观察微生物的数量,观察不同温度下细菌的生长情况。

1.3.2  菌种最适初始pH值的确定

用1:1(浓硫酸与水体积比)的硫酸(H2SO4)调节改良9K培养基的pH值,分别为1.0、1.1、1.2、1.3、1.4、1.5、1.6、1.7、1.8、1.9、2.0、2.1、2.2、2.3、2.4和2.5。将处于对数生长期的混合菌接种到此培养基中,接种量为5%(体积分数),置于45 ℃,160 r/min转速的摇床中培养3天后,定时取样检测,观察不同初始pH值对浸矿菌生长的影响。

1.3.3  菌种对高黄铜矿精矿矿浆浓度的驯化

驯化搅拌反应器(JHS-1)示意图如图1所示。将处于对数生长期的浸矿菌种接入到改良9K培养基中,接种量为10%,另加入20 g/L的FeSO4、5 g/L的S0和15 g/L的黄铜矿精矿。

保持搅拌槽夹套水温为45 ℃,在驯化初期采用1:1(浓硫酸与水体积比)的H2SO4使溶液pH保持在1.5。定期取样,用血球计数板法,在光学显微镜下观察微生物数量,当培养液中菌体浓度达到以1×108 mL-1时,过滤矿渣,收集浸出液,加入到改良9K培养基中,不加FeSO4和S0,按驯化的矿浆浓度梯度进行。在各矿浆浓度梯度下,用电感耦合等离子发射光谱仪(Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer,ICP-OES)检测浸出液中Cu2+浓度,当浸出液中铜离子浓度趋于稳定时,视为浸出实验结束。

1.4  搅拌反应器浸出条件优化

黄铜矿精矿的生物浸出试验在10 L搅拌反应器(见图1)中进行,反应器外围中空可充水夹套恒温45 ℃,浸出初始pH值为1.5,接种量10%,矿浆浓度为100 g/L。生物浸出过程中用1:1的H2SO4或10 mol/L的NaOH维持pH值的稳定。

1.4.1  搅拌速率对生物浸出黄铜矿的影响

保持空气充入强度为500 mL/min(在充气管间接入空气过滤膜滤掉粉尘),而搅拌速度设为250、300、350和400 r/min。每隔3 d进行检测,用ICP-OES检测浸出液中铜离子浓度。

1.4.2  充气强度对生物浸出黄铜矿的影响

保持搅拌反应器搅拌速度为350 r/min,而充气强度设置梯度为300、400、500和600 mL/min。每隔3 d进行检测,用ICP-OES检测浸出液中铜离子浓度。

1.5  优化后的生物搅拌浸出试验

在如图1所示搅拌槽进行浸出试验。控制反应温度为45 ℃,搅拌速度为350 r/min,空气泵充气强度为500 mL/min,矿浆浓度为10%,接种量为10%,接种后的细菌浓度达到2.5×108 mL-1,浸出时间为30 d。

在浸出过程中,定期记录pH值和电位的变化,以及溶液中的铜的浓度、铁离子和细菌浓度。采用pH酸度计(BPP-922)测量pH值;以铂电极为工作电极,Ag/AgCl电极为参比电极的电位计(BPH-221),测量浸出液中的氧化还原电位;采用ICP-OES方法检测浸出液中铜、总铁离子浓度;采用硫酸铈滴定法测定浸出液内的亚铁离子浓度;浸出液中浸矿菌浓度通过血球计数板法在光学显微镜下观察微生物的数量。

2  结果与讨论

2.1  菌种生长条件优化

2.1.1  菌种最适生长温度的确定

在45 ℃的培养条件下,11 d后微生物进入生长稳定期,最高菌浓度达到4.5×108 mL-1(见图2);在41和49 ℃的培养条件下,微生物的最高菌浓度约为45 ℃条件下的一半;而在37和53 ℃培养条件下,细菌生长明显受到影响,最高菌浓度仅为4.0×107 mL-1左右,且其进入生长稳定期的时间较久,分别16和15 d。因而,得出混合菌最适生长温度为45 ℃。

2.1.2  菌种最适初始pH值的确定

图3所示为不同初始pH下中等嗜热菌群的最高菌浓度。由图3可知,其绘制曲线类似于正态分布,当初始pH为1.5时,浸矿菌的生长情况最好,最高菌浓度达到4.5×108 mL-1;当初始pH增高或降低时,最高菌浓度均会降低;且当pH高于一定值时,细菌生长明显受到影响,如当初始pH值为2.2时,最高菌浓度不到1.0×108 mL-1,细菌生长受到抑制。因而,得出混合菌最适生长初始pH值为1.5,马鹏程等[30]也做过类似的研究,他们得出在初始pH值为1.4时,浸出体系中细菌的活性最好,矿物的氧化速率最快。

2.1.3  菌种对高黄铜矿精矿矿浆浓度的驯化

图4所示为中等嗜热菌群经数代驯化后的细菌浓度。浸矿菌第一代驯化矿浆浓度为15 g/L,第二代驯化矿浆浓度为30 g/L,第三代的为50 g/L,第四代的为75 g/L,第五代至第九代的均为100 g/L。由此可知,随着高矿浆浓度对浸矿菌的驯化,其活性逐渐能稳定在7.0×108 mL-1,表明其对高矿浆浓度的抗性增强,能在高黄铜矿矿浆浓度下达到较高的生长活性[31]

图5所示为中等嗜热菌群在不同驯化代数下的浸出率。由图5可以看出,随着驯化代数的增加,浸矿菌对黄铜矿的浸出能力逐渐增强,对浸出液中高浓度铜离子的耐受能力也随之增强。铜的浸出率在矿浆浓度为50 g/L(即条柱上标注5.0%)达到最大,为94.00%;随着矿浆浓度的增加,浸出率有下降趋势,矿浆浓度达到100 g/L时,铜的浸出率稳定在80%左右。

可能是高矿浆浓度会造成反应体系中的剪切力过大,不利于微生物生长,从而影响到浸出率[32],当矿浆浓度超过50 g/L时,浸出率略微下降;且高矿浆浓度下,溶液中铜离子浓度过高会影响到微生物生长,从而也会影响到浸出率[33-34]。由此可知,对浸矿菌进行驯化能提高其对高矿浆浓度的抗性及对高铜离子浓度的耐受能力,从而能提高浸出效率。马鹏程等[35]就从多个矿坑、煤堆废水中富集中度嗜热浸矿菌,并在搅拌反应器中经过两年的长期驯化,获得了能耐受高矿浆浓度和具有抗砷性的浸矿混合菌。

2.2  搅拌反应器条件优化

2.2.1  搅拌速率对生物浸出黄铜矿的影响

由图6可知,当搅拌速度为350 r/min时,30 d内铜的浸出率最高,浸出铜离子浓度为17.36 g/L。当搅拌速度低于350 r/min时,搅拌速率不够,导致体系混合不均匀,溶氧不充分,会出现黄铜矿矿粉沉积,细菌没有与矿物充分作用,导致铜浸出率下降。当搅拌速度高于350 r/min时,铜浸出率降低,可能是搅拌速率过高,产生的剪切力过大,影响到细菌的生长繁殖,从而降低铜浸出速率[36]。由此可知,中度嗜热菌群搅拌浸出黄铜矿时最佳搅拌速度为350 r/min。

2.2.2  充气强度对生物浸出黄铜矿的影响

图7所示为反应器中不同充气强度对黄铜矿精矿生物浸出的影响。由图7可知,在充气强度为500 mL/min时,30 d内铜的浸出率最高,浸出铜离子浓度为17.36 g/L。当充气强度低于500 mL/min时,浸矿菌对黄铜矿的浸出速度较慢,尤其是在充气强度为300 mL/min时尤为明显,浸矿菌浸出速率特别低,可能是充气强度过低影响到了浸矿菌的生长和繁殖,从而影响到了浸出速率[37]。当充气强度为600 mL/min时,铜的浸出率反而降低,可能是充气强度过高,产生大量气泡,气泡破碎产生巨大剪切力影响到浸矿菌的生长繁殖,导致浸出率下降[36]。由此可知,中度嗜热菌群搅拌浸出黄铜矿时最佳充气强度为500 mL/min。

黄铜矿的生物浸出可分为两部分作用,化学作用及微生物作用,可表示为[38-39]

CuFeS2+O2+4H+Cu2++Fe2++2S0+2H2O (化学作用)

CuFeS2+4Fe3+ Cu2++5Fe2++2S0 (化学作用)

4Fe2++4H++O24Fe3++2H2O (微生物作用)

S0+3/2O2+H2OH2SO4 (微生物作用)

化学作用中主要是O2的氧化作用,因而充气强度会影响到浸出率。当微生物作用时,微生物充当催化剂的角色,即不断将亚铁离子氧化重新生成三价铁离子,并提供适宜的酸性环境;三价铁在酸性条件下是一种很有效的矿物氧化剂和浸出剂,能对黄铜矿具有较好的浸出作用;而在黄铜矿氧化分解过程中会释放亚铁离子,后者又是微生物代谢的能源物质,微生物又将其氧化为三价铁离子,如此构成一个循环,不断对黄铜矿浸出。O2在生物反应中会影响到细菌的生长代谢,CO2是此类微生物的碳源,用以合成自身生长所需的有机物,因此,充足的O2和CO2才能保证浸矿细菌的良好生长,从而保证浸矿效率。

2.3  优化后的生物搅拌浸出试验

图8所示为中等嗜热菌浸出过程中的生长曲线。由图8可知,驯化后的浸矿菌很好的适应了搅拌浸出黄铜矿的浸出环境,溶液中浸矿菌能迅速进入对数生长期,在14 d进入稳定期,菌浓度稳定在1.1×109 mL-1。而未驯化的浸矿菌生长受到抑制,这是由于其未经过驯化因而会受到高浓度矿浆的抑制,最高菌浓度仅为4.2×108 mL-1,远低于驯化后的浸矿菌浓度[31]

图8  中等嗜热菌浸出过程中的生长曲线

Fig. 8  Growth curves of moderate thermophiles in tank reactor

图9所示为中等嗜热菌浸出黄铜矿精矿过程中铜离子浓度的变化。由图9可知,驯化后的浸矿菌的浸出率明显提高,30 d后,浸出液中铜离子浓度达到17.36 g/L,浸出率为85.60%;相比之下,未经过驯化的浸矿菌,在30 d后,浸出液中铜离子浓度仅为5 g/L,浸出率不到30%。这是由于驯化过后,浸矿菌能很好地适应高矿浆浓度,能很好地生长繁殖,从而得到较高的浸出率。

图9  中等嗜热菌浸出黄铜矿精矿过程中铜离子浓度的变化

Fig. 9  Copper extraction during bioleaching of chalcopyrite by moderate thermophiles in tank reactor

在中等嗜热菌群对黄铜矿精矿浸出过程,初始浸出速率很高,铜离子浓度迅速增加,而到第8 d后,进入一个平台期,直到第16 d后,又进入一个迅速浸出期,铜离子浓度再次迅速增加。很可能是在那段平台期,黄铜矿表面形成了一层钝化膜,阻碍了浸矿菌与黄铜矿的作用效果。许多学者都对此现象展开了研究[40-46]。一般认为,钝化膜形成主要是由于,浸矿微生物吸附到矿物表面后,会产生胞外多聚物,其能富集三价铁离子,从而氧化分解黄铜矿,但同时黄铜矿分解释放的单质硫也会附着在胞外多聚物上面,而随着反应的进行,溶液中的氧化还原电位和三价铁离子浓度逐步升高,会产生各种铁矾沉淀,其也会覆盖于矿物表面[8, 47-50]

图10所示为中等嗜热菌浸出黄铜矿精矿过程中铁离子浓度的变化。由图10可知,由图10(a)可知,前8 d,三价铁浓度迅速增高,而在8~12 d略有下降,这主要是由于生成了黄钾铁矾,随后三价铁离子浓度急剧升高,马鹏程等[35]做的黄铜矿浸出试验中就对亚铁和三价铁的行为进行了详细的研究。

对比图10(a)和(b)可知,驯化过的浸矿菌对亚铁离子氧化效果明显高于未经过驯化的,驯化过的在第14 d就将亚铁离子氧化接近于0,而未经过驯化的直到28 d才接近于0。且比较其三价铁含量,驯化过的浸出后期三价铁含量明显高于未经过驯化的。综合其生长曲线可知,其铁离子浓度变化主要还是由于浸矿菌生长情况不同所造成的。

3  结论

1) 通过对中等嗜热菌的最适生长条件(温度、初始pH值)进行优化。得出最佳培养条件为:生长温度为45 ℃、初始pH为1.5。

2) 使用黄铜矿矿浆浓度梯度对中等嗜热菌进行驯化,在矿浆浓度为50 g/L时,铜的浸出率达到94.00%;在矿浆浓度为100 g/L时,浸出率稳定在80%左右。相对于未经驯化的中等嗜热菌,驯化后的浸矿菌在最高细菌浓度和铜的浸出率方面均有较大提高。

3) 对搅拌反应器条件(搅拌速度、充气强度)的优化试验,结果表明在搅拌反应器中中等嗜热菌搅拌浸出黄铜矿精矿的最适搅拌速度为350 r/min,最适充气强度为500 mL/min。

4) 采用优化后的菌种生长条件及搅拌反应器条件,用中等嗜热菌黄铜矿精矿进行浸出,浸出时间为30 d,最终铜离子浓度为17.36 g/L,铜的浸出率为85.60%。

Abstract: The bioleaching of chalcopyrite concentrate in the presence of three different moderate thermophilic bacteria such as Acidithiobacillus caldus (A.c), Leptospirillum ferriphilu (L.f) and Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans (S.t), including the optimal conditions of microbial growth and the optimization of stirred reactor during the bioleaching process, was investigated. The results show that the best growth conditions of bacteria are as follows, temperature of 45 ℃ and initial pH of 1.5. The microbial growth of the domesticated bacteria and the bioleaching rate using them are significantly higher than those of the non-domesticated bacteria. The leaching rate using the domesticated strains reaches the maximum 94.00% with the pulp density of 50 g/L. The leaching rate of copper stabilizes at about 80% when the pulp density reaches 100 g/L. The optimal parameters of stirred reactors are as follows: stirring speed of 350 r/min and aeration intensity of 500 mL/min. The final concentration of copper ions is 17.36 g/L and the leaching rate of copper is 85.60% for the chalcopyrite bioleaching for 30 d under these conditions.

Key words: chalcopyrite; moderate thermophilic bacteria; bioleaching

摘  要:采用3种中等嗜热微生物:喜温硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus caldus,A.c)、嗜铁钩端螺旋菌(Leptospirillum ferriphilu,L.f)、嗜热氧化硫化杆菌(Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans,S.t)对黄铜矿精矿进行浸出。探讨浸出过程中的微生物生长优化及搅拌反应器浸出条件优化。微生物最佳生长条件如下:生长温度为45 ℃、初始pH为1.5。驯化过的浸矿细菌的生长及浸出率明显高于未驯化的,驯化后浸出率在矿浆浓度为50 g/L时达到最大,为94.00%;当矿浆浓度达到100 g/L时,铜的浸出率稳定在80%左右。搅拌反应器的最优化浸出条件如下:搅拌速度350 r/min,充气强度500 mL/min。在此条件下,对黄铜矿精矿进行浸出,浸出时间为30 d时,最终铜离子浓度为17.36 g/L,铜的浸出率为85.60%。
