Two bacteria strains were separated to investigate the bio-leaching characteristics of heavy metals from electroplating sludge: Thiobacillus fer- rooxidans separated from acidic wastewater of a pyrite mine in Yunfu, Guangdong province, China, and Thiobacillus thiooxidans separated from hot springs containing H2S in Xinxing, Guangdong province, China. The results showed that the cultivated bacteria can leach heavy metals from electroplating sludge. With the addition of suitable nutrient and reductant, the metals existing in the electroplating sludge, such as Cu and Ni, can be leached effectively in an acidic and aerobiotic system at 30 ℃ for 7 days, but no removal of Cr was observed. The adaptability of the two Thiobacillus strains to highly toxic electroplating sludge is also discussed.
