极端环境胁迫下金精矿生物氧化过程研究进展
Research Progress on Biological Oxidation Process of Gold Concentrate under Extreme Environmental Stress
摘要: 生物氧化已经商业化地应用于从金精矿中提取金,尤其在难处理金精矿方面具有显著优势,从而扩大黄金的储量。可以采用系统生物学手段阐述极端环境下单菌株和多菌株体系的适应性机制,这将有助于为生物氧化建立更具抵抗力的微生物群落,并发挥最大的作用。同时,在生物反应器中进行金精矿的生物氧化是一种高效的冶金方法。由于生物反应器内存在复杂的三相生物氧化过程,有必要建立计算流体动力学(CFD)模型来模拟金精矿的生物氧化过程,通过该模型得到的最佳操作条件可以进一步提高实际生产过程中的各项指标。本文综述了系统生物学应用于浸出微生物适应性机制及对金精矿生物氧化过程建模的研究现状和发展趋势。
Abstract: Bio-oxidation has been commercially applied to extract gold from gold concentrate, and has significant advantages especially when handling refractory gold concentrate, thereby expanding the recoverable gold reserves. The adaptive mechanisms of single- and multi-strain systems under extreme environments can be explained by means of systems biology, which will help to build a more stress-resistant microbial community for bio-oxidation with maximal effectiveness. At the same time, the bio-oxidation of gold concentrate in bioreactors is an efficient metallurgical method. Due to the complex bio-oxidation processes inside bioreactors, it is necessary to establish a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to simulate the dissolution process of gold concentrate, and the optimal operating conditions obtained from such models can further improve the indicators in the actual production processes. This article reviews the research status and development trend of systems biology applied to the adaptive mechanisms of leaching microorganisms and the modeling of the gold concentrate dissolution process in bioreactors.
