    The document analyzes X-ray diffraction patterns of a mineral sulfidic ore before and after a bioleaching experiment with mixotrophic bacteria. It finds that the main minerals in the untreated ore were clinochlore, pyrite, and quartz. After treatment, the intensities of quartz and clinochlore peaks increased, indicating partial solubilization of the gangue material. New peaks also emerged, suggesting partial oxidation of iron in solution and subsequent precipitation of ferric or mixed ferric/ferrous iron oxides.

    Figure 1 X-ray diffraction patterns of mineral sulfidic ore before and after bioleaching experiment with mixotrophic bacteria C: Clinochlore ((Mg,Fe2+)5Al(Si3Al)O10(OH)); Q: Quartz (SiO2); and P: Pyrite (FeS2). Units of Y axis are arbitraries. Mineral sulfide ore for bioleaching experiment was from Cipatujah, West Java Province. Mineral that could be detected by Xpowder software consisted of Clinochlore ((Mg,Fe2+)5Al(Si3Al)O10(OH)), Quartz (SiO2), and Pyrite (FeS2). Pyrite has been known worldwide as a dominant gangue metal in mineral sulfide ores. This mineral was also associated with acid mine drainage formation. X-ray diffraction patterns of mineral sulfidic ore before and after the bioleaching experiment are shown in Fig. 1 The main mineralogical species in the untreated ores are clinochlore, pyrite and quartz. After the treatment, intensities of the peaks of quartz and clinochlore intensively increased, indicating that the gangue of this ore was partially solubilized during the leaching. The presence of new peaks and those species after the leaching suggests a partial oxidation of iron in solution favoured by the consequent precipitation of ferric (or ferric/ferrous) iron oxides.
