Microbial attachment to sulfide minerals in a bioleach environment
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 119-125).This research pertains to bioleaching of copper containing ores with particular reference to the copper sulfide mineral chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂). While it is focused on heap bioleaching, it has applications to stirred tank bioleaching operations. Industrial heap bioleaching offers opportunities for processing of low grade ores but poses process operational challenges. These challenges include ineffective heap inoculation, a lag period before effective leaching commences and poor heap performance. These aspects are attributed to several contributing factors, such as heap construction, engineering and microbial activity. To date little attention has been paid to colonisation as a means of mitigating these challenges and effectively improving process operation. Current literature regarding microbial attachment to sulfide minerals is limited to pure culture studies using iron oxidising mesophiles, and the use of sulfide mineral concentrates. In a heap environment, mineral dissolution is accelerated through the presence of a mixed consortium of microbial species; with the contribution of each not yet fully understood. In addition, gangue minerals comprise the bulk of the minerals present and thus cannot be neglected when attempting to better understand microbial attachment and the role of micro-organisms in a heap environment. The predominant methodology employed to study microbial attachment in a bioleach context has used batch agitated systems (shake flasks). This may not adequately represent attachment under heap-like fluid dynamics. The idea of this project stemmed from a requirement to contribute to the mitigation of challenges faced by industry through addressing the aforementioned gaps prevailing in literature and improving understanding of the role of microbial attachment and colonisation under conditions simulating a heap. The aim of this study was to investigate attachment of three bioleach micro-organisms (A. ferrooxidans, L. ferriphilum and S. metallicus)to complex, sulfide-containing minerals ores in a bioleach environment using methodologies simulating heap-like conditions
Rob and Bert in Tokyo
No full textThis essay is steeped in contradiction: it is as much an attempt at mourning, coping, and letting go as it is an exercise in remembrance, rediscovery, and reconnection. One of the many areas of international legal scholarship where Rob Cryer left his mark is his oeuvre on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE). To pay tribute to, and get re-acquainted with, Rob-the-person, I re-read his 2010 article on the ‘dignified dissenter’ in Tokyo, Dutch Judge Bert Röling. In that article, Rob uses the memoranda and the opinion of Bert-the-judge to assess his conceptual and legal contributions to the IMTFE judgment. They also serve him as a vehicle to get a better grasp of the author behind the text and the values and dilemmas that shaped Röling’s positions on the IMTFE bench. What more can we learn and understand about Rob Cryer while ‘reading Rob reading Bert’? What aspects of Röling’s legacy did he choose to foreground, and what qualities did he appreciate most? How did Rob treat his character when shedding light on the more contentious elements of Röling’s work? Even if this essay fails in its therapeutic purpose, it might still add a few mosaic pieces to the collective construction of Rob’s portrait in this volume
