Abstract EN
This study investigates the synergy of Rhizobium phaseoli and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in the bioleaching process of copper.
The results showed that additional R.
phaseoli could increase leaching rate and cell number of A.
ferrooxidans.
When the initial cell number ratio between A.
ferrooxidans and R.
phaseoli was 2 : 1, A.
ferrooxidans attained the highest final cell number of approximately 2 × 108 cells/mL and the highest copper leaching rate of 29%, which is 7% higher than that in the group with A.
ferrooxidans only.
R.
phaseoli may use metabolized polysaccharides from A.
ferrooxidans, and organic acids could chelate or precipitate harmful heavy metals to reduce their damage on A.
ferrooxidans and promote its growth.
Organic acids could also damage the mineral lattice to increase the leaching effect.
