Magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） was used to probe the structure and flow velocity within the interparticle space of a packed bed of agar beads under water-saturated condition. The images of the velocity field at three different flow rates were obtained. To determine the pore-parameter of the porous media, the internal structure of the bed was also obtained using image processing technique. The results show that the porosity of the sample is 31.28% and the fitting curve for the distribution of pore equivalent diameter follows Gaussian distribution. The velocity profiles do shift as the flow rate varies and the solution flow through the void space is not a homogeneous flow in any pores. The velocity distributions within the pore are roughly parabolic with the local maximum being near the center. About half of the velocity components are in the class of 0-1 cm/s. The frequency of lower velocity components is lower at higher flow rate, but to higher velocity components, it is just the opposite.

The capillary process coexists with gravity flow within leaching heap due to the dual-porosity structure. Capillary rise is responsible for the mineral dissolution in fine particle zones and interior coarse rock. The effect of particle size and heap porosity on the capillary process was investigated through a series of column tests. Macropore of the ore heap was identified, and its capillary rise theory analysis was put forward. Two groups of ore particles, mono-size and non-uniform, were selected for the capillary rise test. The result shows that particle size has an inverse effect on the capillary ultimate height, and smaller particles exhibit higher capillary rise. Meanwhile, the poorly graded group exhibits small rise height and velocity, while the capillary rise in the well-graded particles is much greater. The relationship between porosity and fitting parameters of capillary rise was obtained. Low porosity and high surface tension lead to higher capillary height of the fine gradation. Moisture content increases with the capillary rise level going up, the relationship between capillary height and moisture content was obtained.
以嗜酸氧化亚铁硫杆菌(Acidthiobacillus ferrooxidans,简称At.f菌,FN811931)为研究对象,探讨了Mg^(2+)对其氧化活性的影响规律,并采用Zeta电位及红外光谱分析,考察了其影响的内在机制.结果表明:在Mg^(2+)质量浓度小于5.0g/L的体系中,培养35h时,p H值从培养初期的2.00左右下降到1.70左右,氧化还原电位从培养初期的390 m V左右上升到600 m V以上,Fe^(2+)氧化率接近100%,细菌生长达到旺盛期;当Mg^(2+)质量浓度超过5.0 g/L时,体系p H值下降速率、氧化还原电位上升速率、Fe^(2+)氧化率、细菌生长速率均降低,且Mg^(2+)质量浓度越大,影响效果越显著.Zeta电位测试结果表明,20.0 g/L镁离子作用下细菌等电点为3.6,高于9K培养基中细菌的等电点2.7,这从宏观上解释了细菌细胞壁结构的变化;红外光谱测试结果显示,Mg^(2+)作用下,细菌细胞壁中的官能团发生了交联作用,导致吸收峰N—H的消失和—OH、—C‖O、—CH3、—CH2、—P‖O、—CN的偏移,致使细胞壁表面蛋白质结构发生变化,进而影响了细菌的氧化活性.
