Abstract:Effect of microorganisms and nickel sulfide ore before and after bioleaching on the emulsification was investigated. The emulsion stability was evaluated by the disengagement time or the production rate of crud. The results indicate that no crud formed and the disengagement time of system was prolonged with increasing bacteria density. And a large number of bacteria dispersed at the water-oil interface and aqueous phase and rarely existed in organic phase. The influence of bacteria on the emulsion stability wa… Show more
