超富集植物吸收富集重金属的生理和分子生物学机制3李文学 陈同斌33(中国科学院地理科学与资源研究所环境修复室,北京100101)【摘要】 与普通植物相比,超富集植物在地上部富集大量重金属离子的情况下可以正常生长,其富集重金属的机理已经成为当前植物逆境生理研究的热点领域.尤其是近两年,随着分子生物学等现代技术手段的引入,关于重金属离子富集机理的研究取得了一定进展.通过与酵母突变株功能互补克隆到了多条编码微量元素转运蛋白的全长cDNA ;也从分子水平上研究了谷胱甘肽、植物螯合素、金属硫蛋白、有机酸或氨基酸等含巯基物质与重金属富集之间的可能关系.本文从植物生理和分子生物学角度简要评述超富集植物对重金属元素的吸收、富集、螯合及区室化的机制.关键词 超富集植物 重金属 生理学机制 分子生物学机制文章编号 1001-9332(2003)04-0627-05 中图分类号 X171.5 文献标识码 APhysiological and molecular biological mechanisms of heavy metal absorption and accumulation in hyperaccu 2mu altors.L I Wenxue ,CHEN Tongbin (L aboratory of Environmental Remediation ,Institute of Geographical Sciences and N atural Resources Research ,Chinese Academy of Sciences ,Beijing 100101,China ).2Chin.J.A p 2pl.Ecol .,2003,14(4):627~631.In comparison with normal plants ,hyperaccumulators have the ability to accumulate heavy metals in their shoots far exceeding those observed in soil ,without suffering from detrimental effects.With the help of molecular tech 2nologies ,the research on the mechanisms of heavy metal accumulation in hyperaccumulators has been made a great progress.A number of trace element trans porters have been cloned by functional complementation with yeast mutants defective in metal absorption.The relations between glutathione ,phytochelatins metallothioneins ,organic acids and heavy metals have been studied by molecular technologies.This review concentrated on the physiological and molecular mechanisms of heavy metal absorption and sequestration in hyperaccumulators.K ey w ords Hyperaccumulator ,Heavy metal ,Physiological mechanisms ,Molecular biological mechanisms.3国家自然科学基金项目(40071075)、中国科学院知识创新工程重点方向项目(K Z CX 22401202)和王宽诚博士后工作奖励基金资助.33通讯联系人.E 2mail :chentb @ 2002-07-05收稿,2002-11-28接受.1 引 言土壤重金属污染是一个重要的环境问题,传统的治理主要采用物理或化学方法,费用高,对大面积的污染效果差;与传统措施相比,植物修复技术以成本低、操作简单等优点而倍受青睐.广义上的植物修复是指利用植物去除土壤、水体或空气中重金属、有机污染物等污染物的技术,包含植物萃取(Phytoextraction )、根际过滤(Rhizofiltration )、植物挥发(Phytovolatilization )、植物固定(Phytostabilization )等技术,现在通常提到的植物修复主要是指植物萃取[32].超富集植物(Hyperaccumulator )是植物修复的基础,国际上已发现400多种超富集植物,国内对于超富集植物的研究相对较晚,研究较为系统的当属As 、Zn 等重金属的超富集植物[2,3,33].与普通植物相比,重金属离子进入超富集植物体内同样经过吸收/转运、富集/转化/矿化等生理生化过程,而且许多重金属离子进入植物体内的离子通道与必需营养元素相同,这就决定了超富集植物必然具有独特的生理代谢过程.关于这些过程的研究已经成为新的研究热点.本文对有关超富集植物吸收和富集重金属离子的生理及分子机制研究进行评述.2 重金属离子吸收的分子生物学机制 遏蓝菜属(Thlaspi L.)植物具有非常强的富集Zn 的能力,能够在地上部富集高达3%(干重)的Zn ,同时植物正常生长,没有表现出任何中毒症状,它已经成为研究重金属富集机理的模式植物之一.但无论是超富集植物或是普通植物,金属离子进入植物体内的第一步是根系吸收,也就是说吸收过程很可能是超富集植物富集重金属离子的第一个限速步骤.T.caerulescens 与T.arvense 同属于遏蓝菜属,T.caerulescens 能够富集Zn 而T.arvense 则不具此能力,通过比较它们对Zn 2+的吸收动力学发现:两者Km 值差异不大,但T.caerulescens 的Vmax 要比T.arvense 高3.5倍[21],表明T.caerulescens 富集Zn 2+的能力并非是与Zn 2+有更高的亲和力,而很可能是因为锌离子的流入量加大所致,也就是说在T.caerulescens 根系细胞膜上分布有更多的锌离子转应用生态学报 2003年4月 第14卷 第4期 CHIN ESE JOURNAL OF APPL IED ECOLO GY ,Apr.2003,14(4)∶627~631运蛋白.近年来随着分子生物学等现代技术手段的引入,人们对金属离子如何进入细胞有了新的认识.通过对酵母突变株进行功能互补克隆到了多条编码微量元素转运蛋白的全长cDNA,其中研究最多的是ZIP基因家族(ZRT,IRT-like Protein).ZIP基因家族分布非常广泛,在真菌、动物、植物等真核细胞中均发现了ZIP基因家族成员.ZIP基因编码的蛋白一般具有8个跨膜区,C2端和N2端的氨基酸均位于细胞膜外.此家族包含至少25个成员,z rt1、z rt2(zinc2regulated transporter)和irt1(iron2regulated transporter)是最早克隆到的ZIP基因.z rt1、z rt2均由酵母中获得,与Zn的吸收密切相关[36,37];irt1编码的蛋白主要位于拟南芥的根系,体内缺Fe时可诱导irt1表达[8].另一类与金属离子吸收有关的蛋白是Nramp基因家族(Natural resistance associated macrophage proteins).Nramp基因家族编码的蛋白一般具有12个跨膜区,这与ZIP基因家族明显不同.Nramp最初在哺乳动物中发现,植物中的研究主要集中于水稻(Oryz a sativa)和拟南芥(A rabidopsis).O2 ryz a sativa和A rabidopsis的Nramp基因家族分为2类,Os2 Nramp1、OsNramp3和AtNramp5属于一类,OsNramp2、At2 Nramp1、AtNramp2、AtNramp3与AtNramp4属于另一类. Nramp基因家族在植物中的功能现在仍不清楚,AtNramp3和AtNramp4能够维持A rabidopsis体内铁离子的平衡[29].此外,AtNramp3很可能与Ca2+的吸收有关,破坏AtNramp3基因可增加植物对Cd的耐性,过量表达则导致植物对Ca2+的超敏感性.对于超富集植物而言,Zn的吸收过程研究相对较清楚.通过与酵母突变株进行功能互补,Pence等[24]在具有富Zn 能力的T.caerulescen中克隆到z nt1.z nt1编码Zn2+转运蛋白,属ZIP基因家族,缺Zn和Zn供应充足条件下均可以在根系和叶片中高量表达,表明其可能是组成型表达;对于不具有富Zn能力的T.arvense而言,z nt1主要在缺Zn件下表达,供Zn时,表达明显受到抑制.这种表达方式的不同很可能是造成Thlaspi富Zn能力差异的主要原因之一.Assun2 cao等[1]的研究结果也表明Zn转运蛋白基因T.caerulescen 的表达量要远高于T.arvense.从Pence等[24]、Assuncao等[1]与Lasat等[21]的实验结果可以发现根系Zn转运蛋白基因的表达量与Thlaspi富集Zn的能力正相关,初步验证了吸收过程是超富集植物富集重金属离子的首个限速步骤的假设.但是目前还不能肯定转运蛋白是否在超富集植物吸收重金属方面起到决定性作用.譬如说,尽管z nt1、z nt2在T. caerulescen的表达量要远高于T.arvense,但是它们在具有不同富集能力T.caerulescen中的表达量几乎相同[1],即T.caerulescen富集能力的差异与吸收并无太大的相关性.造成此现象的原因很可能在于:(1)一般来说,转运蛋白由一个基因家族控制,而现在得到的克隆还不足以代表整个家族,许多未知的基因可能起到更为重要的作用,如在T. caerulescen就又克隆到z at基因,它与Zn2+的区室化(Se2questration)密切相关,但是此基因与ZIP基因家族明显不同,仅含有6个跨膜区[34];(2)对已知转运蛋白的性质研究还不清楚,金属离子转运蛋白对底物专一性不强,造成多种吸收途径同时对一种金属离子发挥作用,所以在进行具体的分子生物学研究时,必须清楚那些转运蛋白对该金属离子起作用;(3)现在转运蛋白的研究主要集中于根系,叶片中转运蛋白的研究相对较少,但是对超富集植物而言,重金属离子在地上部的含量要远远高于根系,即叶片中的转运蛋白很可能起到更为主要的作用.3 木质部运输 在木质部存在大量的有机酸和氨基酸,它们能够与金属离子结合,这种复合物是重金属离子在木质部中运输的主要形式.譬如在木质部,Fe主要是以柠檬酸铁的形式存在,Zn 主要是与柠檬酸或苹果酸结合,而Cu随着植物不同可与天冬酰胺酸、谷氨酸、组氨酸或烟碱结合,当然也有许多是以离子形态存在的,如Ca、Mg、Mn.在超富集植物中研究较多的为组氨酸.Kramer等[19]发现,组氨酸与A lyssum montanum 富集Ni的能力密切相关,当植物地上部Ni含量高时,木质部中组氨酸含量也较高,外源组氨酸的加入也能显著促进Ni装载入木质部,从而提高Ni向地上部的运输.然而,最近的研究表明,组氨酸反应很可能并不是Ni超富集植物的普遍机理.Persans等[25]在研究Ni的超累积植物Thlaspi geosingense时并没有发现His反应,同时他们克隆了控制His 合成的关键酶基因thg1、thb1、thd1,其表达量并没有随着Ni用量的增加而升高. 重金属由根系进入木质部至少需要3个过程:进入根细胞,由根细胞运输到中柱,装载到木质部.在内皮层由于凯氏带的存在,使得共质体运输在重金属进入木质部的过程中起到主导作用.在共质体运输中起关键作用的是膜转运蛋白,然而直到现在还没有在木质部中克隆到与重金属离子运输相关的基因,这方面的研究,尤其是在研究超富集植物时应该引起充分的重视.与普通植物相比,超富集植物能够高效、迅速地把重金属离子由根系运输到地上部,而通过凯氏带是重金属离子进入木质部主要屏障之一,探明此过程,将有利于提高植物修复的效果.4 对金属离子的解毒机制411 谷胱甘肽(GSH) 许多金属离子是植物必需的微量养分,它们参与植物体内众多的生理代谢过程.但如果含量过高,尤其是具有氧化还原活性的金属,会对植物产生毒害作用,这种毒害作用很可能是由于自由基的形成造成的.GSH含巯基,具有很强的氧化还原特性,可有效地清除活性氧等自由基,因此GSH在植物抗逆境胁迫中起重要作用.GSH为三肽,结构通式为γ2 G lu2Cys2G ly,合成主要通过两步依赖于A TP的反应完成,γ2 EC合成酶和GSH合成酶是其中的关键酶.γ2EC合成酶由gsh1编码,GSH合成酶由gsh2编码,gsh1与gsh2在拟南芥826应 用 生 态 学 报 14卷基因组中均以单拷贝的形式存在. 正常条件下,GSH的合成依赖于半胱氨酸的活性,同时存在明显的反馈抑制现象,表明由γ2EC合成酶催化的反应是整个合成的限速步骤.重金属胁迫条件下,重金属离子激活植物螯合素的合成,消除了GSH的反馈抑制作用,由GSH 合成酶催化的反应也成为限速步骤,此时如果加强gsh2的表达,则既可增加植物螯合素的合成又能避免GSH的耗竭,从而缓解重金属胁迫.Zhu等[38,39]的实验结果验证了此假设.他把大肠杆菌的gsh1与gsh2分别转入到印度芥菜(B rassica juncea),发现印度芥菜对Cd2+的耐性与富集能力均有明显增加,且耐性和富集能力还与gsh2的表达正相关.然而,Foyer等[10]把gsh2转入白杨树(Populus)后,白杨树抗氧化胁迫的能力(光抑制)并没有增加;G oldsbrough等[13]的结果也表明gsh2转入野生型的拟南芥后并不能增加其对Cd的抗性.由此可见,如何通过基因工程改造GSH,以增加植物对重金属的耐性和富集能力还有待于进一步研究.412 植物螯合素(PCs) 植物螯合素(PCs,=cadystins in S.pombe)由植物体内一系列低分子量、能够结合金属离子的多肽组成,其结构通式为(γ2G lu2Cys)n2G ly(图1),一般来讲,n为2~5,最高可达11[5].现已发现多种PC的同功异构体,主要是C端的G ly 被β2Ala、Ser取代形成.原来认为植物螯合素仅存在于植物中,但是随着研究的深入,陆续在线虫、蚯蚓等克隆到PC合成酶的类似基因. PCs不能由基因直接编码,必须在PCs合成酶的催化下完成[14].PC合成酶为四聚体,分子量95000道尔顿,等电点在p H4.8附近,最适反应温度和p H分别为35o℃、7.9[14].然而,由克隆到的编码PCs的全长cDNA推测的结果与此不符,推测结果表明PCs不是多聚体,分子量为42000~70000道尔顿,这种偏差很可能由于在Grill等提纯的酶中PCs并不是主要成分造成的.不同重金属离子诱导PCs合成的能力有很大差别[15],一般为Cd2+>Pb2+>Zn2+>Sb3+>Ag+> Hg2+>As5+>Cu+>Sn2+>Au3+>Bi3+;不同重金属离子诱导PC合成酶活性的能力与诱导PCs合成的能力稍有不同[35]:Cd2+>Ag+>Pb2+>Cu+>Hg2+>Zn2+>Sn2+> Au3+>As5->In3+>Tl3+>G e4+>Bi3+>G a3+.关于PCs 功能研究得相对清楚的是PCs与Cd之间的关系(图2).现图1 植物螯合素的化学结构示意图Fig.1Chemical structure of phytochelatin.已明确PCs在植物解Cd毒中起到重要作用,PCs2Cd复合物是Cd由细胞质进入液泡的主要形式.正是由于PCs在重金属离子区室化中所起的重要作用,近年来PCs已成为植物抗重金属胁迫的研究热点之一. 目前PCs的分子生物学研究基本集中于普通植物或耐性植物,而有关超富集植物的研究相对较少.Schmoger等[28]在用As处理过的蛇根木(Rauvolf ia serpentina)悬浮细胞及拟南芥幼苗中发现了PCs,Hartley2Whitaker等[17]在绒毛草(Holcus lanatus)上也证实了上述现象.但这些植物多属于耐性植物.Ebbs等[7]的实验表明,无论是否具有富集能力, Thlaspi用Cd处理后都会有大量PCs的合成,但是T.ar2 vense中PCs的总量要高于T.caerulescens,说明PCs与植物富Cd能力之间并无太大的关系.由于PCs在超富集植物中的研究还很少,所以PCs在超富集植物是否起到重要作用还有待于深入研究. Cobbett、Rea和等3个研究小组于1999年分别在拟南芥、小麦、酵母中克隆到了编码PC合成酶的全长cDNA.其中,通过对拟南芥cad1突变株(含有与野生型相似的GSH含量,但不含PC)定位克隆获得At PCS1[16],小麦耐Cd基因At PCS1与TaPCS1主要是通过与酵母突变株功能互补得到[4,30].对PC合成酶相应的全长cDNA对齐比较发现其保守区位于N端,同一性高达40%.长时间Cd2+处理cad1突变株也没有发现PCs的合成,表明PCs的合成可能是由单基因控制[18].但随着拟南芥基因组测序的完成,发现了与At PCS1高度同源的At PCS2基因[16],其功能尚不清楚,但与At PCS1相比,其表达量非常低.但植物在长期的进化历程中把At PCS2作为功能基因保留下来,尽管其在正常条件下表达量很低,可以想象在某些器官或环境下,At PCS2基因的表达肯定会起到重要作用.图2 以Cd为例说明谷胱甘肽、植物螯合素在抗重金属胁迫中的作用(+表示增加基因表达或酶活性,-表示减少基因表达或酶活性, HM

expression,respectively;HM T1is a vacuolar meme2 brane transporter of PC2Cd complex;revised from the figure of Cob2 bert[5]).413 金属硫蛋白(M T) 金属硫蛋白(Metallothioneins)是自然界中普遍存在的一种低分子量、富含半胱氨酸的蛋白质.它与PCs的本质区别在于M T由基因直接编码,而PCs在PCs合成酶的催化下完成.与PCs一样,金属硫蛋白能够通过巯基与金属离子结合,从而降低重金属离子的毒性,它对于Zn2+和Cu2+的解毒效9264期 李文学等:超富集植物吸收富集重金属的生理和分子生物学机制 果尤为明显[23]. 植物中首先鉴定的M T是Ec蛋白,它由小麦成熟胚芽中分离得到.在植物中已发现大约50种M T,根据半胱氨酸残基的排列方式,可以将其分为Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型、Ⅲ型和V型,大多属于Ⅰ型和Ⅱ型.Ⅰ型中的半胱氨酸残基仅有Cys2Xaa2 Cys一种排列方式;Ⅱ型中的半胱氨酸残基有两种排列方式,分别为Cys2Cys、Cys2Xaa2Xaa2Cys.编码I型M T的cDNA 在根系的表达水平较高,编码Ⅱ型M T的cDNA主要在叶片表达. 金属硫蛋白极易水解,尤其植物中的金属硫蛋白氨基酸链比较长,极易在半胱氨酸区水解,同时金属硫蛋白在有氧的条件下非常不稳定,所以难以获得相应蛋白质的资料,目前仅对小麦Ec蛋白及拟南芥M T1、M T2编码的蛋白进行了纯化,这就限制了对M T类似基因功能的研究.Murphy 等[22]证实Cu2+诱导拟南芥M T2表达,而且表达强度与不同基因型抗Cu胁迫的能力密切相关;Nathalie等[13]的研究结果也证实Cu的耐性植物Silene v ulgaris耐Cu胁迫的特性与M T2b的表达紧密联系.王剑虹等[31]在重金属耐性植物紫羊茅草(Festuca rebra)中克隆到mc M T1的全长cD2 NA,此基因编码70个氨基酸,含有12个Cys残基,在N端和C端分别含有3个Cys2Xaa2Cys结构,将此基因转入到酵母M T基因缺失突变株中发现,mc M T1的表达增加了酵母细胞对Cu、Cd和Pb的抗性.在拟南芥和蚕豆中,M T主要在毛状体中表达[9,12],而Cd等许多有毒重金属离子也在毛状体中累积[27],暗示M T和重金属累积有某种联系.414 细胞壁的固持与区室化作用 植物细胞壁残基对阳离子有高亲和力,可以影响重金属离子向细胞内扩散速率,从而影响金属离子的吸收.比较黄花茅(A nthox anthum odoratum)悬浮细胞和原生质体固Pb 能力发现,Pb浓度对从耐Pb细胞克隆分离的悬浮细胞无太大影响,而原生质体的死亡率上升,相应地,从Pb敏感细胞克隆分离的悬浮细胞和原生质体对Pb极其敏感,表明细胞壁在A nthox anthum odoratum抗Pb胁迫中起到重要作用[26].需要明确的是,细胞壁对金属的固定作用不是一个普遍的抗金属毒害的机制,例如抗Zn毒和Zn敏感型菜豆的细胞壁物质表现出相似的亲和力,同时细胞壁有一定的金属容量,而超富集植物能够在地上部富集大量的重金属离子,暗示细胞壁不可能在超富集植物中起到重要作用.最近的研究表明,区室化作用与超富集植物富集重金属离子的能力密切相关.就Thlaspi而言,具有富集能力的T.geosingense液泡中Ni的含量要比不具有富集能力的T.arvense高1倍[20]; Frey等[11]也证实Zn在T.caerulescens中主要分布于表皮细胞液泡中.但区室化作用是否为超富集植物富集重金属离子的一个普遍机理还需对新发现的超富集植物进一步研究才能确定.5 研究展望 关于超富集植物富集重金属离子的研究虽然取得了一定进展,但至今对其分子和生理机制仍不是很清楚,研究人员的看法也存在明显的分歧.在把超富集植物用于实践的过程中,首先要研究清楚对超富集植物富集的生理基础,譬如重金属离子如何进入根细胞,在木质部如何被运输,在叶片中如何分布;其次要注意不同生理过程的联系,就吸收而言,它其实是根系吸收与体内再分配的有机结合,所以在利用基因工程方法增加重金属离子吸收量时,不仅要考虑到增加根系的吸收位点,提高转运蛋白底物的专一性,同时要注意细胞器,尤其是液泡膜上与重金属离子区室化相关膜蛋白的表达,只有这样,才会达到比较好的效果;最后要强调的是学科交叉与渗透,Dhankher等[6]将细菌中的砷酸盐还原酶ArsC 基因和γ2谷氨酰半胱氨酸合成酶(γ2ECS)在拟南芥的叶子中表达,这样运输到地上部的砷酸盐在砷酸盐还原酶的作用下转化成亚砷酸盐,γ2ECS表达可增加一些连接重金属(如亚砷酸盐)并解除其毒性的化合物,将这些复合物限制在叶子中,从而使植物能够积累并忍耐不断增加的As含量.参考文献1 Assuncao A G L,Martins PDC,Polter SD,et al.2001.Elevated

1 问题的提出在有关蛋白质性质的教学中,教师往往是通过直观的变性蛋白质沉淀的现象,帮助学生认识到重金属盐会使蛋白质变性。
然而,一些教师在教学实验中发现,硫酸铜使蛋白质变性产生的沉淀,会溶解在过量的硫酸铜溶液中,教师对此现象难以自圆其说,陷入了非常尴尬的窘境。
本研究尝试运用多种重金属盐进行变性蛋白质沉淀实验时,发现往鸡蛋清溶液中加入过量的硫酸锌溶液或硫酸铜溶液,会使蛋白质沉淀溶解。
过量的重金属盐溶液为什么会使蛋白质沉淀溶解?对于该问题的解释,已有的文献包含理论探讨与实验研究两类:1)理论探讨的文献指出,Cu2+、Zn2+造成的蛋白质沉淀源于盐析作用而不是变性[1];2)实验探究的文献指出,Cu2+引起蛋白质沉淀溶解的主要原因是体系pH变化影响了蛋白质的溶解度[2]。
鉴于此,本研究设计了一系列的化学实验,旨在解决以下3个问题:1)Cu2+、Zn2+的蛋白质沉淀是由于盐析还是变性?2)除Cu2+外,体系pH的变化是否会导致Zn2+、Ag+的蛋白质沉淀溶解?3)如何防止过量的重金属盐溶液使变性蛋白质沉淀溶解?2 实验方案2.1 实验仪器台秤、烧杯、玻璃棒、100mL容量瓶、试管、吸量管、力辰科技PH-100型pH测试笔。
2.2 实验试剂鸡蛋清溶液:用台秤称取5.0g鸡蛋清,加水至100.0g,搅拌,用4层纱布过滤,得到澄清透明鸡蛋清溶液(pH =9.38)。
其他试剂:浓硫酸、浓硝酸;分析纯的硫酸铜、硝酸银、硫酸锌。
2.3 正式试验实验1:探究Cu2+、Zn2+的蛋白质沉淀是由于盐析还是变性。
①取两支试管编号1、2号管,分别加入2mL 鸡蛋清溶液,1号试管中滴入3~4滴5%硫酸铜溶液,2号试管中滴入3~4滴5%硫酸锌溶液,观察到两支试管中均出现白色沉淀。
②往1、2号试管中分别加入4mL水,观察到两支试管内的沉淀均不溶解。
实验2:探究pH的变化是否会导致Cu2+、Zn2+、Ag+的蛋白质沉淀溶解。
①取三个烧杯,编号为A1、B1、C1,分别量取20mL的蛋清溶液,按表1分别加入重金属盐溶液,观察现象并测量pH。

Uncovering the Origin of MetallurgyMetallurgy is the science and technology of extracting metals from their ores, refining them, and preparing them for use. It is a crucial aspect of human civilization and has played a significant role in shaping our world. The origin of metallurgy is a topic of great interest to historians, archaeologists, and scientists alike. In this essay, we will explore the different perspectives on the origin of metallurgy and try to uncover the truth behind this fascinating subject. One perspective on the origin of metallurgy is that it emerged independently in different parts of the world. This theory suggests that humans discovered the properties of metals through trial and error and developed the necessarytechniques to extract and refine them. This is supported by the fact that early metallurgy was found in several regions, including the Middle East, Asia, andSouth America. For example, the ancient Egyptians were known to have used copper and gold for decorative purposes, while the people of the Andes used copper to create intricate jewelry and ornaments. Another perspective on the origin of metallurgy is that it was developed through cultural diffusion. This theory suggests that metallurgy was first developed in one region and then spread toother parts of the world through trade and migration. For example, some historians believe that metallurgy was first developed in the Middle East and then spread to Europe and Asia. This is supported by the fact that the earliest known metal objects were found in the Middle East, such as the copper beads from the 6th millennium BCE found in the area now known as Iraq. A third perspective on the origin of metallurgy is that it was developed as a result of environmental factors. This theory suggests that the availability of certain metals in a particularregion led to the development of metallurgy in that area. For example, the abundance of copper in the Middle East and the Andes may have led to the development of early metallurgy in those regions. Similarly, the availability of iron in certain parts of Africa may have led to the development of ironworking in those areas. Regardless of the origin of metallurgy, it is clear that it played a crucial role in the development of human civilization. The ability to extract and refine metals allowed humans to create tools and weapons that were stronger and more durable than those made from stone or wood. This, in turn, led to thedevelopment of agriculture, trade, and the rise of civilizations. In conclusion, the origin of metallurgy is a fascinating subject that has captured the attention of historians, archaeologists, and scientists for centuries. While there are different perspectives on how metallurgy first emerged, it is clear that it played a crucial role in shaping our world. The ability to extract and refine metals allowed humans to create tools and weapons that were stronger and more durable, leading to the development of agriculture, trade, and the rise of civilizations. As we continue to uncover new evidence about the origin of metallurgy, we will gain a deeper understanding of our shared history and the remarkable achievements of our ancestors.。

materials derived from sugarcane bagasse for adsorption of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution.The first part of this report deals with the chemical modification of sugarcane bagasse with succinic anhydride.The carboxylic acid functions introduced into the material were used to anchor polyamines,which resulted in two yet unpublished modified sugarcane bagasse materials.The obtained materials

leads to eco-logical disequilibrium and health hazards (Kelter et al.,1997).Heavy metal ions such as copper,cadmium,lead,nickel,and chromium,often found in industrial waste-water,present acute toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial life,including humans.Thus,the discharge of effluents into the environment is a chief concern.The methods commonly used to remove toxic heavy metal from municipal and industrial wastewater are based on the adsorption of ions onto insoluble compounds and the separation of the sed-iments formed.Many efforts have been made recently tofind cheaper pollution control methods and materials(Panday et al.,1985;Ali and Bishtawi,1997;Acemiog˘lu and Alma,2001).The new material world trends point to the importance of using industrial and agricultural residues as production starting materials.Reusing and recycling these residues can minimize the environmental problems associated with their build-up and reduce the use of noble starting materi-als.This trend has contributed to the reconsideration of the use of traditional biomaterials such as natural lignocellu-losic fibers to substitute synthetic polymers,for example,since in many cases they have a better performance.Brazil is the world leading producer of sugarcane for both the alcohol and the sugar industries.These industries produce a large amount of sugarcane bagasse and although it is burned to produce energy for sugar mills,leftovers are still significant.Thus,on account of the importance of0960-8524/$-see front matter Ó2006Elsevier Ltd.All rights

as an industrial waste,there is a great interest in developing chemical methods for recycling it.Sugarcane bagasse has around50%cellulose,27%polyoses,and23% lignin(Caraschi et al.,1996).These three biological poly-mers have many hydroxyl and/or phenolic functions that can be chemically reacted to produce materials with new properties(Xiao et al.,2001;Navarro et al.,1996).Despite the many studies of the chemical modification of cellulose published around the world in this area(Gurnani et al.,2003;Gellerested and Gatenholm,1999),only a few have investigated the modification of bagasse sugar(Krish-nan and Anirudhan,2002;Orlando et al.,2002).This work describes the preparation and the evaluation of new chelating materials from sugarcane bagasse to adsorb heavy metal ions in aqueous solution.In a prelimin-ary study,it has been chosen to study the adsorption of Cu2+,Cd2+,and Pb2+.Thefirst part of this work describes the modification of sugarcane bagasse with succinic an-hydride to introduce carboxylic functions to sugarcane bagasse and the chemical introduction of commercial linear polyamine via the formation of amide functions.It is well known that polyamines have powerful chelating properties, mainly towards ions such as Cu2+,Zn2+,and Pb2+(Bian-chi et al.,1991;Martell and Hancock,1996).The second part of this work evaluates the adsorption of Cu2+,Cd2+,and Pb2+onto three modified sugarcane bag-asses(MSBs)from aqueous single metal ion solutions by classical titration.The results were analyzed by the Lang-muir and Freundlich models(Ho et al.,2005).2.Methods2.1.MaterialsPolyamines ethylenediamine3and triethylenetetramine 4were used in this work.Succinic anhydride,1,3-diiso-propylcarbodiimide(DIC),and triethylenetetramine,from Aldrich,were used without purification.Ethylenediamine and dimethylformamide were distilled before use.Pyridine was refluxed with NaOH and distilled.2.2.Sugarcane bagasse preparationSugarcane bagasse was dried at100°C in an oven for approximately24h and nextfiber size was reduced to pow-der by milling with tungsten ring.The resulting material was sieved with a4-sieve system(10,30,45,and60mesh). Then,the material was washed with distilled water under stirring at65°C for1h and dried at100°C.Finally,it was washed anew in a sohxlet system with n-hexane/ ethanol(1:1)as solvent for4h.2.3.Synthesis of MSBs1and2Washed and dried sugarcane bagasse(5.02g)was trea-ted with succinic anhydride(12.56g)under pyridine reflux (120mL)for18h.The solid material wasfiltered,washed in sequence with1M solution of acetic acid in CH2Cl2, 0.1M solution of HCl,ethanol95%,distilled water,and finally with ethanol95%.After drying at100°C in an oven for30min and in a desiccator overnight,MSB1(7.699g) was obtained with a mass gain of53.4%.MSB2was obtained by treatment of1with saturated NaHCO3solu-tion for30min and afterwards byfiltering using sintered filter and washing with distilled water and ethanol.2.4.Synthesis of MSBs5and6The process used to introduce amine functions was the same as that used to prepare MSB5and6.MSB1was trea-ted with5equiv of1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide(DIC)and 6equiv of polyamine in anhydrous DMF at room tempera-ture for22h under stirring.Afterfiltration,the materials were washed with DMF,a saturated solution of NaHCO3, distilled water,andfinally with ethanol.Next,they were dried at80°C in an oven for30min and in a desiccator overnight.2.5.Kinetic study of metal ion adsorption of MSBs2,5,and6Experiments with each material and metal ion were per-formed to determine the adsorption equilibrium time from 10to90min in10min intervals.The amount of100mg MSB was placed in a250-mL Erlenmeyer with100.0mL metal ion solution with concentration of200mg/L under stirring.The experiments were done at pHs5.8for Cu2+, 7.0for Cd2+,and6.2for Pb2+,optimal values to obtain the best adsorption.To adjust pH values,was added NaOH solution(0.01mol/L)into metal solutions with MSB.Afterfiltration,metal ion concentration was deter-mined by EDTA titration.2.6.pH study of metal ion adsorption of MSBs2,5,and6Experiments with each material and metal ion were per-formed to determine the effect of pH on ion adsorption.An amount of100mg MSB was placed into a250-mL Erlen-meyer with100.0mL of metal ion solution200mg/L under stirring.pH was calibrated with HCl or NaOH solutions (0.1–1.0mol/L).The reaction times used were30min (MSB2)or40min(MSB5and6)for Cu2+and Cd2+, and40min(MSB2)or50min(MSB5and6)for Pb2+. Metal ion concentration was determined afterfiltration by EDTA titration.No significative variation of pH was observed at the end of each experiment.2.7.Adsorption isotherms of MSBs2,5,and6Experiments were performed for each material and metal ion to determine adsorption isotherms.In each experiment,100mg of MSB was placed into a250-mL Erlenmeyer with100.0mL of metal ion solution in specific concentrations(between200mg/L and400mg/L)under stirring.Each experiment was performed at the pH of1292O.Karnitz Jr.et al./Bioresource Technology98(2007)1291–1297larger ion adsorption during the time necessary for equilib-rium (Tables 3and 4).After filtration,the metal ion con-centration was determined by EDTA titration.2.8.Characterization of the new obtained materials MSB 1,2,5,and 6were characterized by IR spectro-scopy in a Nicolet Impact 410equipment with KBr.Elemental analyses were accomplished in Analyzer 2400CHNS/O Perkin Elemer Series II.3.Results and discussion3.1.Synthesis of MSBs 1,2,5,and 6The synthesis route used to prepare MSBs 1,2,5,and 6are presented in Scheme 1.Prewashed sugarcane bagasse was succinylated for various periods of time.The degree of succinylation of the bagasse fibers was determined by measuring the quantity of acid function.The results are shown in Fig.1.The concentration of carboxylic functions per mg of bagasse was determined by retro titration.For this,MSB 1was initially treated with an excess solution of NaOH (0.01mol/L)for 30min.Soon afterwards the material was filtered and the obtained solution was titrated with an HCl solution (0.01mol/L).The highest degree of succinylation was reached after 18-h ing this reaction time,sugarcane bagasse was succinylated to pro-duce MSB 1,which presented a weight gain of 54%and a concentration of carboxylic acid function per mg of 3.83·10À6mol.Next,MSB 1was treated with a saturated NaHCO 3solution to produce MSB 2.Starting from MSB 1,two polyamines were introduced:ethylenediamine 3and triethylenetetramine 4.The method-ology used to introduce the polyamines was the same for the two MSBs 5and 6,as shown in Scheme 1.Concentra-tions of 2.4·10À6mol (5)and 2.6·10À6mol (6)of amine function per mg of material were determined by back titra-tion with excess HCl solution.The introduction of the amine functions was also verified by IR spectroscopy (Table 1)and elemental analysis (Table 2).3.2.Characterization of MSBs 1,5,and 6Characterization of carboxylated MSB 1was accom-plished by IR spectroscopy.The spectrum of unmodified sugarcane bagasse and MSB 1are presented in Fig.2.The spectrum of MSB 1displayed two strong bands at 1740and 1726cm À1in relation to that of unmodified sug-arcane bagasse.This demonstrated the presence of two types of carbonyl functions,one relative to carboxylic acid and another relative to the ester.The acid and ester IR bands indicate that succinic anhydride acylated theO.Karnitz Jr.et al./Bioresource Technology 98(2007)1291–12971293hydroxy group of bagasse to generate an ester bond with consequent release of a carboxylic acid functional group.The spectra of MSBs5and6(Figs.3and4,respectively) showed three new strong bands at1550–1650cmÀ1(see data in Table1)corresponding to the presence of amide and amine functions,and one band at1060cmÀ1 corresponding to C–N stretch.The bands at1635and 1650cmÀ1(Fig.3)correspond to the axial deformation of the carbonyl of the amide function and the angular deformation of the N–H bond of the amine function.The band at1575cmÀ1corresponds to the angular deformation of the N–H bond of the amide function.The band at 1159cmÀ1(Fig.4)corresponds to the asymmetric stretch of C–N–C bond.The main bands observed in all MSBs are presented in Table1.MSB elemental analysis data presented in Table2show a modification in the carbon and hydrogen composition of MSB1and a larger proportion of nitrogen as the number of amine functions in the used polyamine increases.3.3.Study of adsorption of Cu2+,Cd2+and Pb2+on MSBs2,5,and6The study of the MSB adsorption properties was accom-plished for each material and metal ion.A kinetic study and an adsorption study as a function of pH werefirst carried out.3.3.1.Effect of contact timeThe kinetic study of MSB2with Cu2+,Cd2+,and Pb2+ ions in aqueous solution is presented in Fig.5.Adsorption equilibrium was reached after20min for Cd2+ions.A time of30min was chosen for all studies of MSB2with Cd2+. The adsorption equilibrium times chosen for pH and con-centration dependent experiments are presented in Table3.Similar studies were accomplished for MSBs5and6for Cu2+,Cd2+,and Pb2+.The results are presented in Table3.3.3.2.pH EffectThe removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions by adsorption is dependent on solution pH as it affects adsor-Table1Main IR spectrum bands observed in MSBs1,5,and6MSB Main bands observed(cmÀ1)11740,172651745,1650,1635,1575,1423,1060 61738,1651,1635,1560,1400,1159,1060 Table2Elemental analysis of MSBs1,2,5,and6C(%)H(%)N(%) Sugarcane bagasse43.98 6.020.13MSB145.41 5.620.10MSB238.04 5.140.01MSB544.01 6.51 2.21MSB646.88 6.65 3.431294O.Karnitz Jr.et al./Bioresource Technology98(2007)1291–1297bent surface charge,the degree of ionization,and the species of adsorbates.The study of adsorption of Cd 2+,Cd 2+,and Pb 2+on MSB 2as a function of pH was accom-plished with the reaction times given in Table 3;the results are presented in Fig.6.The adsorption of the three metal ions increases with the increase in pH.Maximum removal of Cd 2+was observed above pH 6and in the case of Pb 2+and Cu 2,above pH 5and 5.5.Similar studies were accomplished for MSBs 5and 6and Cu 2+,Cd 2+and Pb 2+with similar results,as shown in Table 4.3.3.3.Adsorption isothermsThe Langmuir (Ho et al.,2005)(Eq.(1))and Freundlich (Eq.(2))isotherms were evaluated by adsorption experi-ments as a function of the initial metal ion concentrations in aqueous solution under equilibrium time and pH condi-tions given in Tables 3and 4.The results of each material and metal ion are presented in Fig.7(Langmuir)and Fig.8(Freundlich)and Table 5.c q ¼1Q max Âb þc Q maxð1Þln q ¼ln k þ1nln cð2ÞTable 3Adsorption equilibrium times of MSBs 2,5and 6MSB Equilibrium time (min)Cu 2+Cd 2+Pb 2+230304054040506404050Table 4pH of largest adsorption of MSBs 2,5and 6MSB pH of largest adsorption Cu 2+Cd 2+Pb 2+2 5.5–6.0 6.5–7.5 5.0–6.05 5.5–6.0 6.5–7.5 5.0–6.065.5–6.06.5–7.55.0–6.0O.Karnitz Jr.et al./Bioresource Technology 98(2007)1291–12971295where q(mg/g)is the concentration of adsorbed metal ions per gram of adsorbent,c(mg/L)is the concentration of metal ion in aqueous solution at equilibrium,Q max and b are the Langmuir equation parameters and k and n are the Freundlich equation parameters.High correlation coefficients of linearized Langmuir and Freundlich equations indicate that these models can explain metal ion adsorption by the materials satisfactorily. Therefore,both models explained metal ion adsorption by MSBs2,5,and6as can be observed in Table5,with the exception of the Freundlich model for Pb2+adsorption by MSB2.The Langmuir isotherm parameter Q max indicates the maximum adsorption capacity of the material,in other words,the adsorption of metal ions at high concentrations. It can be observed in Table5that MSB5presents the larg-est Cu2+adsorption capacity while MSB6adsorbs Cd2+ and Pb2+the ngmuir parameter b indicates the bond energy of the complexation reaction of the material with the metal ion.It can be observed that MSB2presents the largest bond energy for Cu2+and Cd2+,while three materials do not differ significantly for Pb2.The Freundlich isotherm parameter k indicates the adsorption capacity when the concentration of the metal ion in equilibrium is unitary,in our case1mg/L.This parameter is useful in the evaluation of the adsorption capacity of metal ions in dilute solutions,a case closer to the characteristics of industrial effluents.The values of k of MSB2and5are much similar for Cu2+and Cd2+ and much higher than that for MSB6.This shows the superiority of both materials in the adsorption of these metal ions in low concentrations.MSB5has a higher k value for Pb2+when compared to those of the other materials.These results were compared with those of Vaughan et al.(2001)for a commercial macroreticular chelating resin with thiol functional groups,Duolite GT-73.The Q max of Duolite GT-73for Cu2+,Cd2+,and Pb2+were 62mg/g,106mg/g,and122mg/g,respectively.Duolite GT-73exhibited Q max lower than those of MSBs(Table5).4.ConclusionsThrough a fast,effective,and cheap methodology,it was possible to devise a strategy to introduce chelating func-tions(carboxylic acid and amine)to sugarcane bagasse. Modified sugarcane bagasses presented a good adsorption capacity for Cu2+,Cd2+,and Pb2+ions with maximum adsorption capacity observed for MSB6.It has been dem-onstrated that metal ion adsorption efficiency is propor-tional to the number of amine functions introduced into the material.MSB2,which contained only carboxylate functions,showed an efficiency similar to that of MSB5, a material of much more complex synthesis.

这一特性使其在细菌冶金、酸性废水处理、烟气脱硫和煤炭脱硫等领域具有潜在的应用价值[1]。
At·f菌可利用黄铁矿等矿物中的S、Fe,从而使矿粉分解,释放出包裹在其中的贵重金属,因此受到人们的普遍重视。
已知硫杆菌对磷矿的浸出有一定的效果,但浸出率偏低[2,3]。

煤矸石中包含有多种矿物:高岭石、石英、蒙脱石、绿泥石等,其中高岭石为主要矿物,所以煤矸石通常被叫做煤系高岭岩[2]。
资料表明[3-7],煅烧是提高煤矸石白度的有效方法。
同时,煅烧高岭土同普通高岭土相比,具有更好的化学稳定性、电绝缘性和油吸收性,并且其耐火度提高,比表面增大,比重减少。
因此,煅烧高岭土已在化工、冶金及特种工业部门得到了应用。

⽔处理专业英语阅读1WaterPollutionandPollutants1 Water Pollution and PollutantsThe relationship between polluted water and disease was firmly established with the cholera epidemic of 1854 in London, England. Protection of public health, the original purpose of pollution control, continues to be the primary objective in many areas. However, preservation of water resources, protection of fishing areas, and maintenance of recreational waters are additional concerns today. Water pollution problems intensified following World War II when dramatic increases in urban density and industrialization occurred. Concern over water pollution reached a peak in the mid-seventies.Water pollution is an imprecise term that reveals nothing about either the type of polluting material or its source. The way we deal with the waste problem depends upon whether the contaminants are oxygen demanding, algae promoting, infectious, toxic, or simply unsightly. Pollution of our water resources can occur directly from sewer outfalls or industrial discharges (point sources) or indirectly from air pollution or agricultural or urban runoff (nonpoint sources).Chemically pure water is a collection of H2O molecules—nothing else. Such a substance is not found in nature—not in wild streams or lakes, not in clouds or rain, not in falling snow, nor in the polar ice caps. V ery pure water can be prepared in the laboratory but only with considerable difficulty. Water accepts and holds foreign matter.Municipal wastewater, also called sewage, is a complex mixture containing water (usually over 99 percent) together with organic and inorganic contaminants, both suspended and dissolved. The concentration of these contaminants is normally very low and is expressed in mg/L, that is, milligrams of contaminant per liter of the mixture. This is a weight-to-volume ratio used to indicate concentrations of constituents in water, wastewater, industrial wastes, and otherdilute solutions.Microorganisms.Wherever there is suitable food, sufficient moisture, and an appropriate temperature, microorganisms will thrive. Sewage provides an ideal environment for a vast array of microbes, primarily bacteria, plus some viruses and protozoa. Most of these microorganisms in wastewater are harmless and can be employed in biological processes to convert organic matter to stable end products. However, sewage may also contain pathogens from the excreta of people with infectious diseases that can be transmitted by contaminated water. Waterborne bacterial diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and tuberculosis, viral diseases such as infectious hepatitis, and the protozoan-caused dysentery, while seldom a problem now in developed countries, are still a threat where properly treated water is not available for public use. Tests for the few pathogens that might be present are difficult and time consuming, and standard practice is to test for other more plentiful organiama that are always present (in the billions) in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, including humans.Solids. The total solids (organic plus inorganic) in wastewater are, by definition, the residues after the liquid portion has been evaporated and the remainder dried to a constant weight at 103℃. Differentiation between dissolved solids and undissolved, that is, suspended, solids are accomplished by evaporating filtered and unfiltered wastewater samples. The difference in weight between the two dried samples indicates the suspended solids content. To further categorize the residues, they are held at 550℃for 15 minutes. The ash remaining is considered to represent inorganic solids and the loss of volatile matter to be a measure of the organic content Suspended solids (SS) and volatile suspended solids (VSS) are the most useful. SS and BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) are used as measures of wastewater strength and process performance. VSS can be an indicator of the organic content of raw wastes and can also providea measure of the active microbial population in biological processes.Inorganic constituents. The common inorganic constituents of wastewater include:1. Chlorides and sulphates. Normally present in water and in wastes from humans.2. Nitrogen and phosphorous . In their various forms (organic and inorganic) in wastes from humans, with additional phosphorous from detergents.3. Carbonates and bicarbonates. Normally present in water and wastes as calcium and magnesium salts.4. Toxic substances. Arsenic, cyanide, and heavy metals such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ph, and Zn are toxic inorganics which may be found in industrial wastes.In addition to these chemical constituents, the concentration of dissolved gases, especially oxygen, and the hydrogen ion concentration expressed as pH are other parameters of interest in wastewater.Organic matter.Proteins and carbohydrate constitute 90 percent of the organic matter in domestic sewage. The sources of these biodegradable contaminants include excreta and urine from humans; food wastes from sinks; soil and dirt from bathing;washing, and laundering; plus various soaps, detergents, and other cleaning products.V arious parameters are used as a measure of the organic strength of wastewater. One method is based on the amount of organic carbon (total organic carbon, or TOC) present in the waste. TOC is determined by measuring the amount of CO2 produced when the organic carbon in the sample is oxidized by a strong oxidizer and comparing it with the amount in a standard of known TOC.Most of the other common methods are based on the amount of oxygen required to convert the oxidizable material to stable end products. Since the oxygen used is proportional to theoxidizable material present, it serves as a relative measure of wastewater strength. The two methods used most frequently to determine the oxygen requirements of wastewater are the COD and BOD tests. The COD. or chemical oxygen demand, of the wastewater is the measured amount of oxygen needed to chemically oxidize the organics present; the BOD. or biochemical oxygen demand, is the measured amount of oxygen required by acclimated microorganisms to biologically degrade the organic matter in the wastewater.BOD is the most important parameter in water pollution control. It is used as a measure of organic pollution, as a basis for estimating the oxygen needed for biological processes, and as an indicator of process performance.The amount of organic matter in water or wastewater can be measured directly (as TOC, for example), hut this doesn’ t tell us whether the organic s are biodegradable or not. To measure the amount of biodegradable organics, we use an indirect method in which we measure the amount of oxygen used by a growing microbial population to convert (oxidize) organic matter to CO2 and H2O in a closed system. The oxygen consumed. or biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). is proportional to the organic matter converted, and therefore BOD is a relative measure of the biologically degradable organic matter present in the system. Because biological oxidation continues indefinitely, the test for ultimate BOD has been arbitrarily limited to 20 days, when perhaps 95 percent or more of the oxygen requirement has been met. Even this period, however, is too long to make measurement of BOD useful, so a five-day test, BOD5, carried out at 20℃, has become standard. The rate of the BOD reaction depends on the type of waste present and the temperature and is assumed to vary directly with the amount of organic matter (organic carbon) present.单词表。

24March 2013Available online 28March 2013Keywords:Red mud Bioleaching Heavy metals Aspergillus nigerRed mud (bauxite residue)is the main waste product of the alkaline extraction of alumina from bauxite with high amounts of metals.In this study,bioleaching of heavy metals from red mud by using the fungus Aspergillus niger was investigated.Bioleaching experiments were examined in batch cultures with the red mud at various pulp densities (1–5%,w/v)under various bioleaching conditions (one-step,two-step and spent medium bioleaching).It was shown that the main lixiviant excreted by A.niger was citric acid.The highest leaching ratios of most various heavy metals were achieved under spent medium leaching at 1%pulp density.The increase in red mud pulp densities resulted in a general decrease in leaching ratios under all bioleaching conditions.However,in the case of the spent medium leaching the decrease in leaching ratios was lowest.The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)tests showed that the leaching toxicity of the bioleaching residue was far below the levels of relevant regulations.The micromorphology of the red mud particles were changed by the fungal activity during bioleaching process.©2013Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionThe production of alumina results in the generation of bauxite re-finery residue known as red mud,a highly saline and alkaline waste material,which represents the main disposal problem in the alumina industry (Clark et al.,2011).Producing one ton of alumina will con-sume approximately four metric tons of raw bauxite and simulta-neously generate above two metric tons of red mud (Ghosh et al.,2011).The storage volume of red mud in the whole world is estimat-ed to be over 2.7billion tons (Power et al.,2011).Furthermore,it is increasing with an annual rate of 120million tons according to the latest reports (Klauber et al.,2011).The management in the future of this kind of waste residue is of increasing environmental concern.The raw red mud or after processed could potentially be used in various environmental or industrial fields (Klauber et al.,2011).The main attempts for the effective application of red mud are:soil amendment to prevent nutrient loss and reduce heavy metal avail-ability (Alva et al.,2002);adsorbents for removal of heavy metal ions and metalloid ions (Cengeloglu et al.,2006;Zhang et al.,2008);absorbents for hydrogen sul fide and sulfur dioxide in gas puri fiers (Fois et al.,2007);building materials as bricks and cements additive (Somlai et al.,2008);pigments and paints (Liu et al.,2009);catalysts (Liu et al.,2009;Wang et al.,2008).Though red mud could be potentially applied in many fields,the environmental risk of heavy metals leaching from red mud has never been thoroughly evaluated (Ghosh et al.,2011;Milacic et al.,2012).It is believed that the concentration of heavy metals (e.g.,V,Cr,Ni,Cu,Zn and As)are elevated in red mud and are approximately 20folds comparing with the surrounding soil (Kutle et al.,2004).The concentration of various heavy metals generally accounts for 0.01%to 1%respectively of the total weight according to the relevant studies (the concentration of Fe is even over 10%)(Akinci and Artir,2008;Ghosh et al.,2011;Kutle et al.,2004).It is also reported that the concentration of heavy metals such as Cd,Cu,Ni and Zn in the red mud are 3orders of magnitude more than the related regulation of Sediment Quality Guidelines Developed for the National Status and Trends Program enacted by National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)(Ghosh et al.,2011).Maybe the leaching tox-icity of heavy metals is low for the raw red mud due to the high alka-line characteristic itself.However,the leaching toxicity would be likely to increase after the change in surrounding environment or any process for various application purpose.It will have a harmful effect on plants,animals,aquatic life and humans once the heavy metals leach from red mud.Therefore,it is important to decrease the heavy metals contents in red mud before storage or application for the environmental safety.Biohydrometallurgical approaches (bioleaching)are generally considered as a ‘green technology ’with low-cost and low-energy requirement (Wu and Ting,2006).It can complete two aims simulta-neously in one process:(1)recover some valuable heavy metals and (2)reduce the leaching toxicity of heavy metals from waste ma-terials (Klauber et al.,2011).Some species of heterotrophic fungus (e.g.,Aspergillus and Penicillium )have shown potential for metal bioleaching of various waste materials,such as fly ash (Bosshard et al.,1996;Wu and Ting,2006),spent catalysts (Amiri et al.,2011;Hydrometallurgy 136(2013)71–77⁎Corresponding

The most important mechanism of metal leaching by heterotrophic fungus is an indirect process with microbial production of metabolites, such as amino acids and organic acids(Burgstaller and Schinner,1993). Due to the strong adaptability,high metabolic activity and high produc-tion of organic acids,Aspergillus niger becomes the one of the most widely used fungi in bioleaching(Aung and Ting,2005;Ren et al., 2009).Although the process of metal bioleaching using A.niger seems promising,only few studies have been performed(Ghorbani et al., 2008;Vachon et al.,1994).Therefore,the focal point of this study was chosen to the bioleaching of heavy metals from red mud by using A.niger.The chemical characteristic of the red mud and the growth characteristics of the fungus(biomass dry weight,pH and ex-creted organic acids)in the pure culture were determined before bioleaching.Thereafter,the pH change and heavy metal leaching effi-ciency under various bioleaching conditions(one-step,two-step and spent medium bioleaching)and pulp densities(1–5%,w/v)were ana-lyzed.Finally the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure(TCLP) tests,which are designed to determine the leaching toxicity of heavy metals from solid wastes,were conducted and the results were com-pared with the relevant regulations.2.Materials2.1.Leaching fungal strainA.niger(GenBank accession number is JF909353)was provided by Research Center For Bio-Resource&Technology,Institute of Geochemistry,Chinese Academy of Sciences.2.2.Red mudThe red mud samples were collected from the storage area of bauxite residue(26°41′N,106°35′E)which belongs to Chinalco in Guiyang.The semi-arid samples were collected by sterile steel con-tainers.When transported to the library,the red mud samples were dried to constant weight in the oven at80°C,and ground by usinga porcelain pestle and mortar and screened through74μm sieves.2.3.Chemical reagentsThe chemical reagents used in our experiments were all analytical reagent(AR).All the aqueous solutions were prepared using deion-ized distilled water.3.Methods3.1.Characterization of red mudFor analyzing the chemical composition of red mud,the process according to US EPA SW846Method3050B was used to totally digest the samples(Wu and Ting,2006).The metal ions containing in the digestive supernatant were analyzed using a Quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry(Q-ICP-MS,PerkinElmer,ELAN DRC-e)and an Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrom-eter(ICP-OES,VistaMPX).The pH value of red mud samples were deter-mined by using a digital pH meter(PHS-3C).The electrical conductivity (EC)was determined by EC meter(DDSJ-308A).The acid neutralizing capacity(ANC)was determined by a standard procedure of titration (endpoint of pH was4.5).3.2.TCLP testsThe TCLP tests were conducted based on U.S.Environmental Pro-tection Agency(EPA)SW846method1311(Aung and Ting,2005).The extraction supernatant was determined by using Q-ICP-MS and ICP-OES afterfiltering through a0.45μm glassfibrefilter.3.3.Bioleaching of red mud by A.nigerA.niger was cultivated on potato dextrose agar plates at30°C for 7days in an incubator.The mature spores were harvested with a ster-ile solution of physiologic saline.The spores suspension was diluted and the number of spores was counted by using a haemocytometer and standardized to approximately1×107spores/mL.In order to observe the characteristics of fungal growth in the absence of red mud,two milliliter of spore suspension was inoculated into100ml of sucrose medium(autoclaved at121°C for15min)in250ml Er-lenmeyerflasks and cultivated in an orbital shaking incubator at 30°C and120rpm.The composition of sucrose medium is shown in Table1.Bioleaching studies were carried out using250mL Erlenmeyer flasks in100mL of sucrose medium(autoclaved at121°C for 15min)with the sterilized red mud at various pulp densities.Three different bioleaching conditions were investigated.In one-step bioleaching,the fungus was incubated together with the sucrose me-dium and red mud.In two-step bioleaching,the fungus wasfirst incubated in sucrose medium in the absence of red mud for3days, after which the sterilized red mud was added.In spent medium bioleaching,the fungus wasfirst incubated in sucrose medium for 10days.Then the sterilized red mud was added into the cell-free spent medium which was obtained by centrifugation(3000rpm) and membranefiltration(0.2μm,Whatman)of the fungal culture. The cultures were incubated in an orbital shaking incubator at30°C and120rpm.Control experiments were carried out using fresh su-crose medium and deionized distilled water.All the experiments were conducted in triplicate.Two milliliters of samples were with-drawn at regular intervals for analyzing the sugar concentration, organic acids concentration,pH value and heavy metals concentra-tion.The biomass dry weight was also examined.3.4.Analytical methodsThe concentration of sugars and organic acids were determined using High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC,Agilent 1200)with a refractive index detector(RID)for analyzing the sugars, and the variable wave-length detector(VWD)for the organic acids. The pH value and heavy metals concentration in the leachate was de-termined as described in Section3.1above.The percentage of metal extraction ratio was calculated through the concentration in thefilter liquor divided by the total concentration in red mud.The residue (biomass with bioleached red mud)obtained from thefilter paper was dried at80°C for24h,followed by ashing at500°C for4h to determine the biomass dry weight(Aung and Ting,2005).All exper-iments were performed in triplicate.The micromorphology of the fungi and red mud was observed using a Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM,Shimadzu-SS550, 25kV,0.25nA).The samples were prepared by membranefiltration to remove redundant water.Then washed for1h with2%glutaralde-hyde solution in order to protect the intact appearance of microbial cell.After that a series of washings with mixtures of water andTable1Composition of bioleaching medium.Ingredients Concentration(g/L)Sucrose100KNO30.5KH2PO40.50.5Yeast extract 2.0Peptone 2.072Y.Qu et al./Hydrometallurgy136(2013)71–77ethanol were conducted for the purpose of cell dehydration.The sam-ples were coated with gold and submitted for SEM and EDS analysis.4.Results and discussion4.1.Characteristic of red mudThe pH of the red mud samples was12.9.Electrical conductivity was 21.8mS/cm.The ANC of red mud was3.53mmol H+/g.The weight percent concentration of major elements containing in the red mud(wt.%):Al(3.27);Ca(11.85);K(0.95);Mg(0.37);Na(5.30);Si (4.53).The weight concentration of heavy metals in red mud(unit: ppm):As(125);Ba(590);Cr(848);Cu(182);Fe(84200);Ni(169); Pb(332);Zn(670);Zr(2070).The heavy metals which weight percent concentrations were below0.01%were not shown.The high pH and ANC value is owing to abundant alkaline anions (OH−,CO32−/HCO3−,Al(OH)4−/Al(OH)3)dissolved from red mud (Gräfe et al.,2011).The high EC value is due to high ion strength in the red mud leachate(Gräfe et al.,2011).The high pH,ANC and EC value are indicative of the extreme alkalinity and salinity of the red mud.Furthermore,the high concentration of heavy metals makes the characteristic of red mud severely unfavorable for microorgan-isms to live in(Krishna et al.,2008).The extremely scarce of organic carbon,nitrogen and micronutrients will also limit the microbes to growth(Gräfe and Klauber,2011;Hamdy and Williams,2001; Thiyagarajan et al.,2009).Therefore,we chose the heterotrophic fun-gus A.niger which has a prominent tolerance of unfavorable condition (Brandl et al.,2001;Krishna et al.,2005;Ren et al.,2009)and an abil-ity of producing high volume of organic acids as the leaching strain for the further bioleaching research.4.2.Characteristic investigation of A.niger growth in pure cultureBefore the bioleaching,the pure culture experiments(in the absence of red mud)of A.niger were conducted until it reached the stationary phase in order to determine the optimum time for addition of red mud into fungal culture in two-step bioleaching,as well as to determine the optimum time to obtain the cell-free medium in spent medium bioleaching.Fig.1a shows the variation of sugars and biomass concentration during40days incubation.The concentration of sucrose drastically decreased to32.4mg/L within3day,andfinally completely hydro-lyzed to glucose and fructose through the invertase action after 10days incubation.With a decrease in sucrose,the concentration of biomass increased to the maximum of28.6mg/L along with the glycometabolism at the tenth day,then had a slight decrease during the rest time of incubation,which is probably due to the toxicity of secondary metabolism accumulating in the medium(Amiri et al., 2011).Fig.1b shows the change in pH value and organic acids concentra-tion.The concentration of citric acid drastically increased to the maxi-mum of82.3mmol/L within10days of incubation.The concentration of gluconic acid and oxalic acid also increased to the maximum of16.9 and18.3mmol/L during20and10days incubation respectively.The increase in organic acids was accompanied by a decrease in pH value. The pH value decreased to the minimum of1.8at the tenth day. Thereafter,with the decrease in organic acids,the pH marginally in-creased after the tenth day.It showed a high correlation(r=0.995, p b0.001)between an increase in biomass dry weight and a decrease in pH value,which indicates that the activity of the A.niger is the upper-most factor affecting the pH in the bioleaching culture.There are several mechanisms involved in the bioleaching of metals when use heterotrophic microbes as the leaching strains. However the most important mechanism is the acidolysis.The surface of metal compound covering by the oxygen atoms are proton-ated rapidly,thus the metal and water combine with the protons and oxygen is separated from the surface of metal compound(Burgstaller and Schinner,1993).The most important substances involved in the acidolysis secreted by fungus are the organic acids(Burgstaller and Schinner,1993).Through Fig.1b we can clearly see that the citric acid is the main leaching agent(the highest production among all the organic acids)for bioleaching of red mud by the fungi.The related reactions between the different organic acids and metal ions are listed as below(M n+represents the metal ions with certain valence):Gluconic acid:C6H12O7→C6H11OÀ7þHþðPk a¼3:86Þð1Þn½C6H11O−7 þM nþ→M½C6H11O7 nðGluconic metallic complexÞð2ÞOxalic acid:C2H2O4→C2HO−4þHþðPk a1¼1:25Þð3ÞC2HO−4→C2O2−4þHþðPk a2¼4:14Þð4Þn½C2HO−4 þM nþ→M½C2HO4 nðOxalic metallic complexÞð5Þ1008060402080604020abtime (days)time (days)Sugarconcentration(g/L)Organicacidsconcentration(mmol/L)Biomassdryweight(g/L)203010642pHFig.1.Variation of(a)sugars and biomass concentration and(b)organic acids concen-tration and pH as a function of time in the pure culture of A.niger during40days incu-bation.The experiments were performed in triplicate.73Y.Qu et al./Hydrometallurgy136(2013)71–77n½C2O2−4 þ2M nþ→M2½C2O4 nðOxalicmetalliccomplexÞð6ÞCitricacid:C6H8O7→C6H7O−7þHþðPk a1¼3:09Þð7ÞC6H7O−7→C6H6O2−7þHþðPk a2¼4:75Þð8ÞC6H6O2−7→C6H5O3−7þHþðPk a3¼6:40Þð9Þn½C6H7O−7 þM nþ→M½C6H7O7 nðCitricmetalliccomplexÞð10Þn½C6H6O2−7 þ2M nþ→M2½C6H6O7 nðCitricmetalliccomplexÞð11Þn½C6H5O3−7 þ3M nþ→M3½C6H5O7 nðCitricmetalliccomplexÞð12ÞThe nearly complete hydrolysis of sucrose and the maximum pro-duction of glucose and fructose at the third day indicate that the A.niger is in the active growth phase.Therefore after3days incuba-tion,the red mud added into the fungal culture under two-step bioleaching.The maximum biomass and minimum pH value were reached at the10th day of incubation.Therefore the cell-free medium was obtained throughfiltering the culture after10days incubation under spent medium bioleaching.4.3.The change in pH value during various bioleaching conditionsThe pH value is a very important parameter in determining the bioleaching efficiency.Therefore,the pH change at different pulp den-sities under one-step,two-step and spent medium bioleaching were examined(Fig.2).In the one-step bioleaching with1%(w/v)red mud pulp density (Fig.2a),the initial pH(the value was approximately9.1)of the suspension gradually decreased to the lowest value of approximate 2.0after15days incubation,and then remain constant for up to 40days.In the two-step bioleaching containing1%(w/v)red mud, the initial pH was5.1when the red mud added into the three days culture.The pH drastically decreased to the lowest value of1.9after 6days incubation,and then remained constant in the rest time.The change in pH value during spent-medium process was much smaller than other bioleaching process,which is because there is no obvious metabolism activity in the leaching medium.The pH gently increased from2.6to3.2during40days incubation after the red mud(1%) added into the cell-free culture.The slowly increase of pH value in spent medium bioleaching is due to the continuous release of alkaline anions from red mud(Khaitan et al.,2009).With an increase in red mud pulp densities from1%to5%(w/v),the pH value during all the three bioleaching conditions increased. However,the increase extent in each bioleaching process was differ-ent.The minimum pH value in one-step bioleaching increased from 2.0at1%pulp density to5.0at2%pulp density.The increase extent of pH in two-step bioleaching was lower than that in one-step bioleaching.The minimum pH value increased from1.9at1%pulp density to3.9at5%pulp density.Furthermore,the time to reach the lowest value of pH in two-step bioleaching was also shorter than that in one-step bioleaching at all red mud pulp densities.These phenomena indicate that the production activity of organic acids by leaching fungus was obviously inhibited in one-step bioleaching,especially at high red mud concentration.The higher organic acids production in two-step bioleaching is probably because that the pre-culture of fungus in the absence of red mud is conducive for the production of organic acids and fungal growth(Amiri et al.,2011; Bosshard et al.,1996;Yang et al.,2008).The increase extent of pH value in spent medium bioleaching was the lowest among all the three bioleaching process.The minimum pH value increased from 2.6at1%pulp density to only3.5at5%pulp density(though the pH value increased in some degree with the leaching time prolonging). And in the presence of5%(w/v)red mud,thefinal pH value was lower than that in one-stepbioleaching.121086421210864212108642pHpHpHtime (days)time (days)time (days)abcFig.2.Variation of pH as a function of time during various bioleaching conditionsat different pulp densities of red mud:(a)1%(w/v),(b)2%(w/v)and(c)5%(w/v).The experiments were performed in triplicate.74Y.Qu et al./Hydrometallurgy136(2013)71–77The previous studies considered that the red mud of2%concentra-tion will exert severe toxicity to organisms(Pagano et al.,2002).Our results showed that the fungus had a favorable growth condition and organic acids production in the presence of5%(w/v)pulp density.There-fore,A.niger has a potential application for bioleaching of red mud.4.4.Leaching efficiency of heavy metals from red mud under different bioleaching conditionsThe leaching ratios of heavy metals under different bioleaching conditions and different red mud pulp densities are shown in Fig.3. The optimum pulp density in one-step,two-step and spent medium bioleaching were all1%.The highest leaching ratios of most heavy metals were achieved under spent medium bioleaching at1%pulp density,with leaching ratios at over80%of Pb and Zn,67%of Cu, 50%of Ni,44%of As,31%of Ba,26%of Cr and about11%of Fe and Zr.The leaching ratios data of fresh sucrose medium and deionized distilled water were not shown due to the negligible extraction.Different bioleaching conditions have different leaching efficiency orders of heavy metals.The leaching efficiency in descending order for the one-step,two-step and spent medium bioleaching can be roughly arranged as below,respectively,with slightly different.Zn≈Ni≈Pb>Cu≈As>Ba>Fe>Zr≈Crð13ÞZn>Pb≈Ni>Cu≈As>Fe≈Ba>Zr≈Crð14ÞPb>Zn≈Cu>Ni>As>Ba>Cr>Fe≈Zrð15ÞThe different leaching ratios between different heavy metals under various leaching conditions are due to:(1)the physical and chemical properties of heavy metals themselves;(2)the solubility of the com-plexes formed by organic acids and metal ions(Burgstaller and Schinner,1993);(3)the biosorption and bioaccumulation of heavy metals by the leaching fungus during bioleaching process(Yang et al.,2009);(4)the precipitation of heavy metals to the surface of leaching materials(Wu and Ting,2006).From Fig.3it can be found that the leaching efficiencies of Pb,Cu and Cr in the spent medium bioleaching were obviously higher than that in one-and two-step bioleaching.This is possibly because the adsorption capacities for the fungus of these heavy metals are com-paratively higher than other heavy metals(Volesky and Holan, 1995).They will be highly adsorbed by the fungus after leaching from the red mud.However,the biosorption will not occur frequently in spent medium bioleaching due to the scarce biomass in the leaching medium.Maybe this is an important mechanism that the spent medium bioleaching had better leaching efficiency of heavy metals than other bioleaching conditions.This is inconsistent with Wu's study(Santhiya and Ting,2005)that the leaching efficiency of spent medium bioleaching is lower when bioleaching offly ash,but is consistent with Amiri's study(Amiri et al.,2011)when usingspent hydrocracking catalyst as the leaching materials.The increase in red mud pulp densities result in a general decrease in leaching efficiency under each bioleaching process.This is probably due to two reasons:(i)the high concentration of red mud results in high pH value in leaching solution;(ii)the fungal growth is inhibited by the toxicity from red mud under one-and two-step bioleaching, which results in a decrease of metabolites(e.g.,organic acids)pro-duced from leaching strains(Aung and Ting,2005).Precisely because the second reason,with an increase in pulp densities,the decrease extents of leaching efficiency between the three bioleaching condi-tions were different.The highest decrease extent was occurred in one-step bioleaching,next was the two-step bioleaching.The de-crease extent of spent medium bioleaching was the lowest.According to our results,the leaching efficiency of spent medium bioleaching was the highest among all the bioleaching conditions, regardless of low or high pulp densities of red mud.Furthermore, the spent medium bioleaching also has other advantages,such as short processing time,easy handling and convenient optimization (Aung and Ting,2005).Therefore,it can be concluded that the spent medium bioleaching probably is the best choice for leaching heavy metals from red mud when using A.niger as the leaching fungus.4.5.TCLP tests of the bioleaching residueTable2shows a comparison of the TCLP test results of the red mud before and after bioleaching process against the identificationstandard 80604020Extractionratio(%)Extractionratio(%)Extractionratio(%)As Ba Cr Cu Fe Ni Pb Zn ZrAs Ba Cr Cu Fe Ni Pb Zn ZrAs Ba Cr Cu Fe Ni Pb Zn Zr abcFig.3.Extraction efficiencies of heavy metals at various pulp densities of red mud under(a)one-step bioleaching,(b)two-step bioleaching and(c)spent medium bioleaching.The experiments were performed in triplicate.75Y.Qu et al./Hydrometallurgy136(2013)71–77for hazardous wastes enacted by National Environmental Agency of China,recommended acceptance criteria for suitability of industrial wastes for landfill disposal enacted by National Environment Agency of Singapore,and TCLP regulatory level enacted by U.S.EPA,respectively.The concentration of As in the extract of raw red mud by TCLP tests was found to exceed the regulatory level.In contrast,the con-centration of heavy metals in the extract of the bioleaching residue by TCLP tests was reduced to well below the regulatory level.This in-dicates that the bioleaching process has a prominent effect on reduc-ing the leaching toxicity of heavy metals from red mud.Therefore,the red mud after bioleaching process can probably be disposed of safety or reused in other applicationfields(e.g.,construction materials). However,considering the certain amount of heavy metals leached from raw red mud,it is urgency to develop relevant regulations on the storage and disposal of red mud in order to assess the environ-ment risk as well as to guarantee human health.4.6.Micromorphology analysis of red mud particles and A.nigerThe micromorphology of red mud particles and mycelium is shown in Fig.4.The size of individual raw red mud particles is largely different,which is ranging from nano-scale to micron-scale(Fig.4a). The amorphous and poorly crystalline structure is predominant in raw red mud particle which appear asfluffy aggregates.However,the morphology of the bioleaching residue particles is much different from the raw particles.Morefine grained particles ap-pear,and crystalline structures also occur(Fig.4b).This is due to a comprehensive effect induced by fungal activity(Lian et al.,2008; Xiao et al.,2012).First,the hyphae will penetrate red mud particles through physical destruction force after the spores germinate and the hyphae elongate.Secondly,the organic acids and amino acids secreted by the hyphae will slowly erode red mud particles through chemical corrosive action.Thirdly,the CO2produced by respiration during metabolism activity will form carbonic acid when it reacts with water molecule.The carbonic acid can also have corrosive effect on red mud particles like other mineral weathering(Xiao et al.,2012). Thefinal result is the large particles will be split and destroyed to morefine-grained particles through these comprehensive effects of physical destruction and chemical erosion.After bioleaching,the crystalline structures occur,while the non-crystalline structures dis-appear to some extent in red mud particles.Therefore it is speculated that the non-crystalline structures of the red mud tend to be eroded or damaged easily by the fungal activity,but the crystalline structures are difficult to erode.When bioleaching was carried out at1%pulp density(Fig.4c), mostfine red mud particles adhere to the surface zone of mycelium.But if the red mud particle is large,the mycelium can penetrate through the whole particle(marked by the white arrow).This is ben-eficial for the leaching of metals since it can expand the contacting area between fungus and red mud particles.Furthermore,the large particles have a greater tendency to be broken and turn into small ones by the physical destruction of mycelium,which is also conducive for the bioleaching.When bioleaching was carried out at5%pulp density(Fig.4d),the red mud particles cover almost the whole mycelial surface,which possibly form a thick barrier to impede the fungal metabolic product (e.g.,organic acids)escaping to the external space of the fungus,as well as reduce the speed rate to reach the chemical equilibrium and homogeneous state in solution.Therefore,the pH value inside this barrier will possibly decrease faster comparing to the outside when the fungal begins to secrete organic acids.Finally,due to the lower pH in the microenvironment,the actual concentration of heavy metal ions around the spores or the mycelium is probably higher than the measured value of that in solution.The fungal metabolic ac-tivities will befiercely restrained by high concentration of heavy metals inside this red mud barrier during bioleaching process.That is possibly one of the important reason that the fungi can't grow well at high concentration of red mud.However,enhancing the mass transfer rate is possibly a good way to alleviate this negative effect.5.ConclusionThis work has shown that heavy metals from red mud can be mo-bilized by leaching with A.niger.The main lixiviant excreted by the fungi was the citric acid.The highest leaching ratios were achieved under spent medium bioleaching at1%pulp density.According to our results,the spent medium bioleaching probably was the best choice for leaching heavy metals from red mud when used A.niger as the leaching fungus.The TCLP tests showed that through the bioleaching process,the leaching toxicity of red mud decreased obvi-ously.The micromorphology analysis indicates that the appearance of red mud particles is changed by the fungus activity during bioleaching process.AcknowledgmentThis work was jointly supported by the National Science Fund for Creative Research Groups(grant no.41021062)and the Guiyang Science and Technology Project([2012103]87).Table2TCLP test results of red mud(before and after bioleaching)in comparison with the various regulatory levels.Heavy metals Metal concentration in extractionfluid(mg/L)Raw red mud Bioleaching residue a Regulatory levels(China)b Regulatory levels(Singapore)c Regulatory levels(U.S.A.)dAs8.60±0.220.84±0.03555Ba 4.83±0.170.38±0.0410*******Cr 5.19±0.090.10±0.01155nsCu nd nd100100nsFe 2.42±0.210.31±0.02ns100nsNi 3.43±0.100.09±0.0155nsPb0.61±0.020.16±0.01555Zn15.00±0.85 1.30±0.11100100nsZr0.96±0.07nd ns ns nsnd:not detected;ns:not stated in regulation.a Bioleached residue under one-step bioleaching at1%pulp densities after40days.b Identification standard for hazardous wastes—identification for extraction procedure toxicity,National Environmental Agency,China(GB5085.3-2007).c Recommended acceptance criteria for suitability of industrial wastes for landfill disposal,National Environment Agency,Singapore.d“Identification and listing of hazardous waste”U.S.Code of Federal Regulations(CFR),title40,Chapter1,Part261,U.S.Environmental Protection Agency.76Y.Qu et al./Hydrometallurgy136(2013)71–77。
