The model included (1) the indirect leaching by Fe^3+ and Fe^3+ regeneration by suspended Sulfolobus, and (2) the direct leaching by the attached Sulfolobus. The model parameters were optimized using genetic algorithm (GA). Simulations of the ferric leaching, and bioleaching processes were done using this model. The dynamic changes of the concentrations of Cu^2+, As^3+, As^5+, Fe^3+ and/or Fe^2+, as well as ferric-arsenate precipitation were accurately predicted.展开更多
