This review outlines current research in heap bioleaching, particularly in respect of the
bioleaching of chalcopyrite, assesses the status of the bioprocessing of copper sulphides …

Pyrite, FeS2, commonly referred to as “Fool's gold” is the most common sulfide in the Earth's
surface region. Not only is the mineral ubiquitous, but the reactivity of pyrite is of central …

The last two decades have seen geomicrobiology evolve into a broad field encompassing a
wide range of environmentally significant processes such as proton and metal adsorption …

We measured the Cu isotopic composition of primary minerals and stream water affected by
acid mine drainage in a mineralized watershed (Colorado, USA). The δ65Cu values (based …

In this study, the ecology of biofilms collected from sediments and efflorescent crusts (EFC)
along an acid mine drainage (AMD) system was determined using 16S bacterial …

This review outlines classic and current research, scientific documents and research
achievements in bioleaching, particularly in respect of the bioleaching of chalcopyrite and …

A pilot-scale chemical–biological process was performed efficiently to remove corrosive H2S
from biogas. Consecutive 356-d livestock biogas purification was conducted at various H2S …

Unsaturated (80% water saturated) packed column experiments were conducted to
investigate the influence of grain size distribution and bacteria surface macromolecules on …

Electroplating sludge (EPS) is a potential secondary resource; the heavy metals it contains
show microbial toxicity in the bioleaching process and can be recycled as well. The aim of …

The bioleaching process is widely used in the treatment of ores or solid wastes, but little is
known about its application in the treatment of vanadium-bearing smelting ash. This study …
