Oxidation of Fe2+ in simulative adsorption tail solution of leaching uranium through packed bed bioreactor by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
active carbon was selected as carrier to immobilize Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans(A. f).The process parameters of oxidizing ferrous were investigated by simulating ferrous concentration and solution pH value in uranium mine in bioreactor.The results showed that the ferrous oxidation rate could increase 1.4 times from 0.5 g·L-1·h-1 to 1.2 g·L-1·h-1 with active carbon carrier. Iron in solution was consumed due to formation of NH4Fe3(SO4)2(OH)6 during operation.It’s necessary to add ferrous periodically in order to keep certain iron concentration in solution and clean up NH4Fe3(SO4)2(OH)6 in bioreactor.The optimum operation condition of bioreactor was ventilation from bottom
ferrous concentration keeping 5 g·L-1 and solution flux keeping 1.2-1.4 L·h-1 or ferrous concentration keeping 1 g·L-1 and solution flux keeping 5.4 L·h-1.
