PREFACE
What is Bacterial Leaching? Bacterial Leaching
is the extraction of metals from ores using the principal components of water, air and bacteria
4
KIND OF BACTERIA
Bacteria devided into two classes
Autotrophic Heterotrophic
Organisms that live on inorganic matter
Organisms that live on organic matter
What kind of bacteria used to
bacterial leaching??
5
WHY BACTERIAL LEACHING?
Comparative rate of copper extraction from chalcopyrite with bacterial and sterile solution
Bacterial leaching is possible with low concentrations ores and requires little energy inputs

BACTERIAL LEACHING HISTORY
1. 1887, Winorgradasky : bacteria able to oxidize elemental sulfur to sulfuric acid
2. 1951, Colmet and Hinkle : bacteria as Thiobacillus ferroxidans
3. 1963, Ruzzell and Trussell : leaching operation in Rio Tinto, Spain, used bacteria
4. Then, T. Ferroxidans involved in many leaching operation in other place
PRINCIPLE OF BACTERIAL LEACHINGAcidolisys is a chemical reaction involving the decomposition of a
molecule, with the addition of the elements of an acid to the molecule. The reaction is comparable to hydrolysis or alcoholysis, in which water or alcohol, respectively, is used in place of the acid. Also known as acyl exchange.
Complexolysis is a process corresponding to microbial formation of complexing or chelating agents that solubilize metal ions. As a resultof that metal-organic complexes or metal-organic chelates are formed. The chelating compunds formed by microorganisms are organic acids
Redoxolysis is the oxidation and reduction reactions. Organic acid-mediated solubilization, where oxalic acid can effect the reduction of metal ions.
Sulfuric acid is the main inorganic acid found in leaching environments. It is formed by thiobacilli

MECHANISM OF BACTERIA ACTION
Bacterial Leaching process
MECHANISM OF BACTERIA ACTION
A generalised reaction can be used to express the biological oxidation of a mineral sulphide involved in bacterial leaching:
MS + 2O2 MSO4
where M is a bivalent metal

MECHANISM OF BACTERIA ACTION
There are two major mechanisms of bacterial leaching
1. the first mechanism is direct leaching, in the process in direct leaching metal sulphides can be directly oxidised by T. ferrooxidans to soluble metals sulphates
2. the second mechanism is indirect leaching, the microbial action results in the oxidation of ferrous ions (Fe2+) to ferric ions (Fe3+) and the ferric ions then chemically oxidise the sulphide minerals
11
MECHANISM OF BACTERIA ACTION
However, the model of “direct” and “indirect”metal leaching is still under discussion
12
THE KINETICS OF LEACHING REACTIONS
Both the kinetics and the final metal recoveries depend on the mineralogical type of the ore (Tzeferis and Agatzini-Leonardou, 1994). The difficulty in mobilizing metals, exp. nickel, from various minerals phases is different and this difference is generally reflected on the leaching effectiveness (Tzeferis and Agatzini-Leonardou, 1994)

CONCLUSION
1. Bacterial leaching is a revolutionary technique used to extract various metals from their ores.
2. Another methods of extraction such smelting are very energy intensive and require high concentration of elements in ores.
3. Bacterial leaching is possible with low concentrations ore and requires little energy inputs
