A structured model for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growth on ferrous iron.
A structured model for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growth dependence on ferrous and ferric iron, arsenic, oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and temperature is presented. A new kinetic mechanism for ferrous oxidation by T. ferrooxidans is introduced. Data from several earlier experimental studies of T. ferroaxidans growth are used for model development.
