Minerals are valuable resources gifted to man from the Mother Earth and quite often they
need to be dug out from deep down with much effort to utilize them in many of our …

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 …

Chalcopyrite is the most abundant copper ore and, consequently, the most utilised to
produce metallic copper. The main route of treatment is through pyrometallurgical …

Heap bioleaching is a microbial technology that catalyzes the decomposition of ore without
grinding. The crushed ore is stacked on the liner, and the microbial solution flows through …

In nature, microorganisms developed at various places and adapted to the various weather
and geological conditions. Microorganisms participate in geological transformations leading …

The geochemical features of the ores present in the oxidation zone of the gold-copper
Malmyzh mineral deposit are characterized. This deposit is located in the the Nanaian …

The imbalance between raw materials of high economic importance and their supply has
increased the search for new approaches to obtain valuable elements from mining tailings …

Ammoniacal leaching solutions have been considered as an effective lixiviant for the
oxidative dissolution of chalcopyrite. However, compared with the extensive studies of acidic …

This study aimed to reveal the specific mechanism of extracellular polymeric substances
(EPS) in the bioleaching of copper-bearing sulfide ore by moderately thermophilic bacterium …

The solvent extraction of copper from a sulfate-chloride solution containing seawater and/or
sodium chloride was studied using the commercial extractants LIX 984N and Acorga M5910 …
