Bioleaching of Metal-Polluted Mine Tailings: A Comparative Approach Between Ex Situ Slurry-Phase Stirred Reactors Versus In Situ Electrokinetic Percolation

et al.

Abstract: This work compares two technologies for the remediation of metal-polluted mine tailings based on lab-scale bioleaching experiments performed in (a) conventional agitated slurry-phase reactors and (b) in situ electrokinetic percolation. While ex situ bioleaching in agitated reactors has been widely studied, only a few previous works have studied the in situ option that couples bioleaching and electrokinetics. Real mine tailings from an abandoned sphalerite mine in southern Spain were used. The leaching medium w… Show more
