Abstract
The Langmuir adsorption parameter X-Am Of a mixture of culture of Thiobacil lus ferrooxidans and Thiobacillus thiooxidans indicates that these bacteria have preferential and competitive adsorption sites on furnace dust. The co nstant K-A of the mixture significantly larger than that of each component, suggesting that a synergistic effect may occur in the binding of these bac teria to the dust.
