Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) is the most abundant copper-containing resource in the earth and is
also widely distributed in solid wastes and secondary resources. Biohydrometallurgy …

Nowadays, due to fast global industrial progress and near diminution of high-grade ore
reserves, there has been massive call to cost-effectively process the resources of low-grade …

The growing worldwide demand for copper implies the need to process increased amounts
of its ores. Chalcopyrite is the most abundant copper mineral, but due to its refractory nature …

Bio-hydrometallurgical applications have been receiving more attention globally for
processing of several metal bearing wastes. Developments in bioleaching enable this …

The formation of hydrolyzed ferric iron (Fe (III)) as jarosite could limit the bioleaching of
copper and significantly lower the dissolution rate of low-grade chalcopyrite ore. Thus, to …

Although pyrite bio-dissolution plays an important role in the processing of sulfide ores, the
formation of passivation film inhibited the further dissolution of sulfide ores. In order to …

Six artificial communities with different function or biodiversity were reconstructed by six
typical bioleaching species for chalcopyrite leaching. Absence of sulfur oxidizers in …

Dumping of low-grade chalcopyrite encompasses several environmental problems. Despite
slow dissolution rate, meso-acidophilic bioleaching is preferred for the extraction of copper …

Chalcopyrite is the richest copper sulfide mineral in the world, but it is also the most resistant
to biohydrometallurgical processing. To promote the bioleaching of chalcopyrite, a nonionic …

Bioleaching characteristics and bacterial community structure were studied during low-
grade copper sulfide ores bioleaching in the presence of pretreated Sargassum (PSM) …
