Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is an environmental concern due to the carcinogenic and mutagenic effect on living organisms. Sulfide minerals based Cr(VI) reduction is an economical and efficient strategy for Cr(VI) remediation. In this study, Cr(VI) reduction through the synergistic effect between chemoautotrophic bacteria and sulfide mineral is systematically investigated. Sulfide minerals dissolution and Cr(VI) reduction performance highly depends on mineral acid soluble property. Cr(VI) reduction capacity of pyrrhotite, pyrite, marcasite and sphalerite was 50, 104, 104 and 44 mg/g (Cr(VI)/mineral) respectively in the biotic system. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans) significantly enhanced pyrite and marcasite based Cr(VI) reduction kinetic and capacity. Proton consumption, iron coprecipitation and the biological activity deficiency in the abiotic system significantly inhibited Cr(VI) reduction. Elemental sulfur and secondary iron mineral as the main composition of the passivation layer inhibited sustainable Cr(VI) reduction. A. ferrooxidans facilitated acid nonsoluble mineral dissolution and surface passivation layer removal, and promoted Cr(VI) reduction. Acid nonsoluble sulfide mineral disulfide bond rapture, S degrees/S-n(2-) oxidization, and Fe(III)/Cr(III) dissolution were accelerated by A. ferrooxidans, which facilitated Cr(VI) reduction reactive sites regeneration. Our study demonstrated that chemoautotrophic bacterial accelerated Cr(VI) reduction reaction through promoting acid nonsoluble sulfide mineral dissolution. This research is of environmental and practical significance to remediate redox sensitive contaminant based on the synergistic effect between sulfide minerals and chemoautotrophic A. ferrooxidans.
