Solubilization profiles of metal ions from bioleaching of sewage sludge as a function of pH

Solubilization profiles of metal ions from bioleaching of sewage sludge as a function of pH Two patterns of solubilization of metal ions resulting from bioleaching of sewage sludge by sulphur-oxidizing Thiobacillus spp. were established as a function of pH. Chromium and copper ions required a pH of 2–3 to initiate their solubilization, whereas nickel and zinc ions had their solubilization initiated at pH 6–6.5. The patterns obtained were independent of the sludge solids concentrations investigated (10, 17, 25, 32.5 and 40 g l−1). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Biotechnology Letters Springer Journals

Abstract

Two patterns of solubilization of metal ions resulting from bioleaching of sewage sludge by sulphur-oxidizing Thiobacillus spp. were established as a function of pH. Chromium and copper ions required a pH of 2–3 to initiate their solubilization, whereas nickel and zinc ions had their solubilization initiated at pH 6–6.5. The patterns obtained were independent of the sludge solids concentrations investigated (10, 17, 25, 32.5 and 40 g l−1).
