Chalcopyrite is the main mineral source of copper ore for extracting and producing copper.
However, with the continuous mining of copper ore, the grade of chalcopyrite decreases …

As one of key cleaner production methods, heap bioleaching of copper relies on leaching
solution to extract valuable copper ions from agglomerations, crushed ores, waste rocks of …

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

Extra-terrestrial mining and metal processing are vital for access to strategic metals for
space exploration. This study demonstrates for the first time the catalytic dissolution of …

Medical waste (MW) is originated from healthcare activities, which is difficult to dispose and
potential to cause environmental pollution. The effect of MW on bioleaching of low-grade …

One of the main problems in processing chalcopyrite ore with hydrometallurgical methods is
its refractoriness, which is due to the formation of a layer that inhibits the contact of the ore …

The iodine-assisted heap leaching of chalcopyrite involves the addition of iodide in ferric
sulfate media to accelerate the dissolution of chalcopyrite at ambient temperature. The …

A detailed study has been made of the effect of the addition of iodine/iodide on the
electrochemistry of the dissolution of chalcopyrite in acidic sulfate media containing iron (III) …

Chalcopyrite dissolution in ferric sulfate media at ambient conditions is slow. The addition of
iodide has been found to significantly improve chalcopyrite leaching in the potential range …

Extra-terrestrial mining is vital for access to strategic metals for space exploration and to feed
an increasing terrestrial need for metals in sustainable energy generation and storage. This …
