Iron Bacteria Recover Nickel

"Iron Bacteria Recover Nickel from Sukinda" explores the potential of iron bacteria in the recovery of nickel from region Sukinda, The book provides an in-depth analysis of the biomining and bioleaching processes involved in the extraction of metals from Sukinda's ultramafic rocks. The book highlights the significant role of microorganisms, particularly Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, Leptospirillum ferriphilum, and sulfate-reducing bacteria in the metal extraction process. It explains the hydrometallurgical process, including the use of bioreactors, biofilm, and enzymes, in metal extraction. The book also discusses the mineralogical composition of Sukinda's ores, including chalcopyrite, pyrite, chalcocite, bornite, covellite, millerite, pentlandite, pyrrhotite, chromite, and serpentine, as well as the use of various analytical techniques such as XRD, XRF, SEM, TEM, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy in ore analysis. The impact of environmental sustainability and circular economy in the mining industry is also highlighted, and the economic feasibility of using iron bacteria in metal recovery is discussed. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, metallurgical engineers, and industry professionals involved in metal extraction, mining, and environmental sustainability. It offers insights into the potential of iron bacteria and microbial diversity in the circular economy and industrial ecology. The book is written in a way that is easy to understand for anyone interested in the subject, regardless of their background in molecular biology, bioinformatics, or metallurgical engineering.
