The Resistance of an Enamelled Material to Biochemical Leaching

This article describes the resistance of chemically durable enamelled surfaces against the effects of chemical leachate and enzymes of bacteria <i>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</i>, which are commonly used in biohydrometallurgy today during the biochemical leaching of ore. For many year...

description This article describes the resistance of chemically durable enamelled surfaces against the effects of chemical leachate and enzymes of bacteria <i>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</i>, which are commonly used in biohydrometallurgy today during the biochemical leaching of ore. For many years now, the Vítkovice ENVI company has successfully used steel parts protected by the tested enamel in the construction of wastewater treatment plants and biogas stations. This article summarizes the results of a study that dealt with verifying the possibility of usage of widely applied enamel in the field of biochemical leaching during the treatment of raw materials. From the performed experiments, it follows that enamel can endure the effects of leaching solutions, but on poorly treated areas such as the edges and corners of parts, a quick onset of corrosion occurs.
