Biological oxidation of polymetallic ores as a potential possibility for the treatment of ore from the Coka Marin

The Catalytic Role of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans for Metals Extraction from Mining - Metallurgical Resource

“…The application A. ferrooxidans in bioleaching of metals in miningmetallurgical operations, is possible starting from leaching metals from ores, to leaching of metals from concentrate, till waste (Table 1) Besides that, A. ferrooxidans can be used for pretreatment of acid mine drainage, 53,54 as well as for the pretreatment of gold containing ores to the dissolution of sulfides in which the gold is encapsulated 55 and bioassisted phytomining. 56 Because of tolerance to metals 57 and potential absorption of metals, 28 A. ferrooxidans can be very effective for bioremediation of heavy metals from polluted environments.…”
