Abstract:Recebido em 10/7/08; aceito em 4/2/09; publicado na web em 3/7/09 OXIDATION STUDY OF THE SYNTHETIC SULFIDES MOLYBDENITE (MoS 2 ) AND COVELLITE (CuS) BY Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans USING RESPIROMETRIC EXPERIMENTS. This paper analyses the oxidation of covellite and molybdenite by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain LR using respirometric experiments. The results showed that both sulfides were oxidized by A. ferrooxidans, however, the covellite oxidation was much higher than molybdenite. Regarding the kineti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
