The influence of magnetite on bioleaching of chalcopyrite by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was systematically explored by electrochemical tests such as open-circuit potential and cyclic voltammetry. Results show that the leaching rate of chalcopyrite can be increased by increasing the addtion of magnetite in the leaching system by undomesticated bacteria. The bacteria after domestication presents enhanced activity. With the addition of magnetite at an amount of 0.5 g, the copper leaching rate can be increased by around 8%. With the addtion of magnetite at an amout over 0.5 g, jarosite is generated during the leaching process, which can worsen the leaching environment, leading to the copper leaching rate just up by about 2%. The open circuit potential of chalcopyrite is always higher than that of magnetite in the system with different concentrations of Fe3+. During the galvanic reaction between chalcopyrite and magnetite, chalcopyrite acts as the cathode, which is not conducive to oxidation and dissolution of chalcopyrite. However, Fe3+in the solution can increase the corrosion rate of chalcopyrite, leading to an increased leaching rate of chalcopyrite.
