description | Highly toxic As(III) is the main form of As in wastewater. The retention of As by tooeleite has gradually attracted attention in recent years due to its great potential for the direct removal of As(III). The existence of natural As-bearing minerals is closely related to microorganisms and organic matters. In this study, yeast extract was found to enhance the stability of biogenic tooeleite by <i>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</i> (<i>A. ferrooxidans</i>). The effects of pH, Fe/As and yeast extract concentration were systematically studied, and the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) was conducted to evaluate the short-term stability of tooeleite. The mineral synthesized in the presence of yeast extract showed that the As leaching concentration decreased from 13.78 mg/L to 7.23 mg/L and the stability increased by more than 40%. In addition, various characteristics confirmed that the precursor was changed from amorphous schwertmannite to basic ferric sulfate in the presence of yeast extract, and then transformed to relatively purer tooeleite with less hollow structure and excellent dispersion, which is favorable for the stability of tooeleite. This result indicated that yeast extract resulted in the formation of different precursors and thus affected the transformation and stability of tooeleite. |
