采用摇瓶试验,研究了晶种(先前合成的黄铁矾)和钾离子在生物成因黄铁矾合成中的作用及其影响机制。结果表明:2种材料均能明显促进Fe3+水解形成黄铁矾沉淀。在起始Fe2+浓度为160mmol·L^-1,晶种和K+最大添加量分别为10g和80mmol·L^-1时,经过72h反应后,溶液中的总铁(TFe)分别比对照多沉淀了23和33mmol·L^-1。K+在黄铁矾形成中起阳离子诱导作用,品种起晶核刺激作用。K+的促进作用主要发生在24~48h,但在低Fe3+浓度下作用有限;而晶种可以减少低Fe3+浓度对黄铁矾形成的不利影响。结论:品种和K+共同作用不仅能够明显促进Fe2+的水解沉淀,而且绝大部分反应发生在0—24h.极大地缩短了反应时间。
The effects of crystal seed, i. e. , already-formed jarosite, and K+ on the formation of fresh jarosite facilitated by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in 160 mmol·L^-1 FeSO4 solutions were investigated through batch experiments. Results showed that both the rate and extent of Fe3+ precipitation increased with the increase of the amount of the two materials added. Compared to the control without addition of crystal seed and K+,the treatments with 10 g seed and 80 mmol·L ^-1 K+ increased the removal of total iron by 23 and 33 mmol· L^-1 , respectively. The seed contributed to the precipitation of Fe3+ by providing a solid surface for the growth of fresh jarosite as well as eliminating the inhibition effect of low Fe3+ concentration, while K+ acted as a jarosite-directing cation which improved the formation of jarosite mainly at 24-48 h when there was a high Fe3+ concentration. The combined application of already- formed jarosite seed and K+ not only increased the extent of the precipitation reaction, but also accelerated the initial iron precipitation rate. A significant amount of jarosite formed at 0-24 h in the simultaneous presence of jarosite seed and K+.
