Bioleaching is a simple and effective technology for metal extraction from lowgrade ores and mineral concentrates. Metal recovery from sulfide minerals is based on the activity of chemolithotrophic bacteria, mainly Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and T. thiooxidans, which convert insoluble metal sulfides into soluble metal sulfates. Nonsulfide ores ...

The application of bioleaching of metal sulfides (MS) and its understanding have evolved over the last decades. The mobilization of metal cations from often almost insoluble minerals in ores by biological acidification, oxidation, and complexation processes is referred to as bioleaching, and its application is termed biomining, being now a worldwide established geobiotechnological process.

Spasova et al. (2006) examined the extraction of copper, gold, and silver from a heap consisting of five tons of polymetallic sulfide ore that had been crushed to less sizes than 10 mm. The main copperbearing mineral of the ore was chalcopyrite, while secondary copper sulfides, such as covellite and bornite, also were present.

Due to the ongoing scarcity of copper resources globally, the extraction of copper from waste rocks has become an unavoidable necessity. This study investigated the phytoextraction of copper from lowgrade chalcocite (LGC) ore using Tagetes sp. Therefore, the LGC and the garden soil mixtures, with different percentages, were utilized to achieve the optimum condition in 4 weeks. Mixing 50% LGC ...

Bioleaching may be effectively used to extract nonferrous metals from sulfide ores and concentrates. At the same time, some minerals are refractory and their bioleaching rate is often comparatively low that does not allow the required metal extraction rate to be achieved. In the present work, we studied the twostage process, which included stages of biological and chemical leaching, to ...

In this regard, the present work assessed the bioleaching of two chalcopyrite ores—containing % Cu (copper ore 1) and % Cu (copper ore 2) by the extreme thermophilic archaea Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. In addition, the effect of different NaCl concentrations ( − mol/L) on copper extraction were investigated.

Heap leaching. Heap leaching is another common method used to extract copper from lowgrade ore. The process involves placing the ore on a lined pad and then sprinkling it with a solution that contains sulfuric acid. The acid leaches the copper out of the ore and into the solution, which is then collected and processed to concentrate the copper.
