The results show that after conditioning with bacterium cultured on different energy resources, the change trends of surface properties of chalcopyrite are similar. All types of A.ferrooxidans adhere to chalcopyrite surface rapidly, but adapted A.ferrooxidans has stronger adsorption ability. The isoelectric point of chalcopyrite after bacterial treatment moves towards the isoelectric point of pure cells. Due to the formation of elemental sulfur and intermediate copper sulphides on chalcopyrite surface, the contact angle and surface hydrophobicity of chalcopyrite increase. The direct mechanism of sulfide oxidation is essential in initial bioleaching. Key words: chalcopyrite; Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ; bioleaching; ads
