Introduction to Bioleaching: Leaching process was first observed in pumps and pipelines installed in mine pits containing acid water. This process was later on employed for recovering metals from ores containing low quantity of the metal. Presently certain metals from sulfide ores and other ores are
WhatsAppعرض المزيدKey Terms. ore leaching: The process of recovering metals from ores by using a number of different techniques.; Microbial ore leaching (bioleaching) is the process of extracting metals from ores with the use of microorganisms. This method is used to recover many different precious metals like copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, and nickel.
WhatsAppعرض المزيدCopper, zinc, gold, etc. can be recovered from sulfide ores by microbial leaching. Mineral solubilization is achieved both by ''direct (contact) leaching'' by bacteria and by ''indirect leaching'' by ferric iron (Fe 3+) that is regenerated from ferrous iron (Fe 2+) by bacterial oxidation.
WhatsAppعرض المزيدMicrobial leaching is especially useful for copper ores because copper sulfate, as formed during the oxidation of copper sulfide ores, is very watersoluble. Using Bacteria such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to leach copper from mine tailings has improved recovery rates
WhatsAppعرض المزيدAbstract. Natural bioleaching has been taking place for almost as long as the history of the world, but it is only in the last few decades that we have realized that bioleaching is responsible for acid production in some mining wastes, and that this bacterial activity can be used to liberate some metals.

WhatsAppعرض المزيدMicrobial leaching methods are being increasingly applied for metal recovery from lowgrade ores and concentrates that cannot be processed economically by conventional methods. As is the case with many biotechnological processes such methods may have been used since prehistoric times and probably the Greeks and Romans extracted copper from mine water more than 2000 years ago.

WhatsAppعرض المزيدMicrobial Leaching (Bioleaching, Biomining) Microbial leaching is the process by which metals are dissolved from ore bearing rocks using microorganisms. For the last 10 centuries, microorganisms have assisted in the recovery of copper dissolved in drainage from water.
WhatsAppعرض المزيدBacterial ore leaching can be applied to extract heavy metals from low grade ores, industrial wastes and other materials on an industrial scale by different procedures: dump leaching, in situ leaching, tank leaching, leaching in suspension. Sulfidic copper and uranium ores are the principle ores leached in several countries.
WhatsAppعرض المزيدA richinpyrite copper ore containing also gold and silver as valuable components was treated by a twostage microbial leaching. The leaching was carried out in a percolation PVC column containing 30 kg of ore crushed to minus 10 mm. The ore was firstly leached by means of acidophilic chemolithotrophic bacteria and %

WhatsAppعرض المزيدINDIRECT LEACHING (Noncontact leaching) In this type of biomining, there is no need of microbial attachment on the metal surface and the electrons are not gained by the metals directly from microbes, but the reduced metals are oxidized by taking electrons from Fe 3+ ions (oxidizing agents). These ions are produced by the oxidation of ferrous ions.
