Colmer and Hinkle (14) identified T. ferrooxidans in acidic mine waters. Subsequent studies by Silverman et al. (15,16) confirmed that T. ferrooxidans could be utilized to oxidize FeSo in coal in 3 to 4 days, and the rate of oxidative dissolution was a function of the particle size and rank of the coal. Dugan and Apel (4,5) showed that a mixed culture of T. ferrooxidans and T. thiooxidans was most effective at a pH of 2 to 2.5 when the nutrient was enriched with NH " -. They reported 97% removal of pyritic sulfur from a coal sample with 3.1 weight percent sulfur. Norris and Kelly (17) reported that other acidophilic bacteria, Leptospirillum ferrooxidans in mixed cultures with T. thiooxidans, was effective for FeS2 removal. ... 

Mechanism of Microbial Desulfurization. The microbial dissolution of pyritic sulfur in coal by acidophilic bacteria has been thoroughly investigated (17,18,29). The pyrite is readily oxidized by oxygen or ferric ion, resulting in the ferrous state as follows ...
