Abstract Acid mine drainage (AMD) is characterized typically by high acidity, soluble Fe, sulfate, and toxic metals. Thus, it is of practical significance to promote the transformation of soluble Fe and sulfate into secondary iron hydroxysulfate minerals by biomineralization of A. ferrooxidans, which is helpful in enhancing subsequent lime neutralization efficiency of AMD due to reducing the production of ferric hydroxide and waste gypsum. In the study, we investigated that the influence of three anions (Cl-、NO3-、PO43-) on the pH value, bio-oxidation rate of Fe2+, total Fe deposition efficiency, and phases of secondary iron minerals in simulated AMD containing A. ferrooxidans. The results indicated that a higher concentration of monovalent cations inhibited the biological oxidation of Fe2+. The tolerance ability of A. ferrooxidans to the three anions varied significantly (PO43- > NO3- > Cl-). In addition, for anion concentrations lower than those tolerated by A. ferrooxidans, Fe2+ oxidation was not affected. However, high concentration of anion can inhibited the hydrolysis and mineralization of Fe3+ indirectly by inhibiting the oxidation activity of A. ferrooxidans, resulting in a decrease in the total Fe precipitation rate and a reduction in the secondary iron minerals production. Influenced by the decrease of Fe3+ supply rate, the synthetic pathway of secondary iron minerals was biased towards the schwertmannite.
