Bacillus mucilaginosus was used in pretreatment ofpyrolusite to facilitate the flotation removal of quartz from pyrolusite minerals. Quartz was activated by B. mucilaginosus, whereas pyrolusite was unaffected at pH 7 with laurylamine as collector. Flotation recovery of pyrolusite with B. mucilaginosus pretreatment is 73.62%, slightly lower than that of the process without biopretreament, namely 74.70%. The grade of concentrate of recovered pyrolusite is 19.44%, 2.18% higher than that of the recovered pyrolusite without B. mucilaginosus pretreatment （17.26%）. The results of FTIR and SEM showed that no bacteria were adsorbed on the surface of quartz or pyrolusite, indicating that the better selectivity and collectability of flotation resulted from bacterial byproducts. And interaction of bacterial byproducts such as extracellular bacterial polysaccharide, extracellular bacterial protein and acetic acid, on minerals were studied by FTIR and adsorption.

Pyrolusite was added in the bioleaching process to enhance the bio-oxidation process. Bioleaching tests at different dosages of pyrolusite ore, pH and inoculation amounts of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans were studied. The results showed that the time of the bio-oxidation process was decreased obviously and the arsenic leaching rate reached 94.4% after the bioleaching. The bio-oxidation of arsenopyrite and the effective extraction of manganese from pyrolusite were achieved by the bioleaching process. After bioleaching, the leaching rate of gold from the reaction residues reached 95.8% by cyanide leaching. In the bio-oxidation process, pyrolusite increased the redox potential of the solution to accelerate the bioleaching rate. The experiment showed that there were two reaction modes in the bioleaching process.
