The promotion effect of FeS2 on Sb2S3 bioleaching and Sb speciation transformation by Xing-fu Zheng, Xing-fu Zheng, Xing-fu Zheng, Jin-lan Xia, Jin-lan Xia, Zhen-yuan Nie, Zhen-yuan Nie, Hong-peng Cao, Hong-peng Cao, Rui-Jia Hu, Yu-ting Liang, Hong-chang Liu, Hong-chang Liu

“…The DFT results show that between the Sb2S3 (0 1 0) and FeS2 (1 0 0) surfaces, S-Fe, S-S, S-Sb, and Sb-Fe bonds are formed, and the direction of electron transfer is from Sb2S3 to FeS2; the work functions for Sb2S3 after addition of FeS2 decrease, implying that faster electron transfer occurs; Fe(III)-6H2O derived from FeS2 adsorbs on the surface more easily than does glucose, which is the major component of the extracellular polymeric substances in bacteria, indicating that during the bioleaching process, Fe(III)-6H2O plays an important role; after mixing, both Fe(III)-6H2O and glucose adsorb on the Sb2S3 (0 1 0) surface more easily, with stronger bonds and larger adsorption energies, which are in good agreement with the experimental results.…”
