Microbiological and geochemical dynamics in simulated‐heap leaching of a polymetallic sulfide ore
TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that temporal and spatial heterogeneity in mineral heaps create conditions that favour different mineral‐oxidizing microflora, and that it is therefore important that sufficient microbial diversity is present in heaps to optimize metal extraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiology and Geochemistry of Mine Tailings Amended with Organic Carbon for Passive Treatment of Pore Water
Matthew B.J. Lindsay,Kathryn Wakeman,Owen Rowe,Barry M. Grail,Carol J. Ptacek,David W. Blowes,D. Barrie Johnson +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a field-scale experiment was conducted to evaluate organic carbon amendment of mine tailings as a technique for pore water and drainage treatment, and six test cells were constructed by amending sulfid...
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of temperature on the bioleaching of chalcopyrite concentrates containing different concentrations of silver
TL;DR: In this article, the results indicated that chalcopyrite concentrates that contain significant concentrations of silver are highly amenable to bio-leaching at relatively low temperatures, using well-known acidophilic micro-organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfidogenesis at Low pH by Acidophilic Bacteria and its Potential for the Selective Recovery of Transition Metals from Mine Waters
TL;DR: Biosulfidogenesis (the generation of hydrogen sulfide by microorganisms) in acidic liquors was investigated using two metabolically-distinct bacteria, and the potential of using acidophilic sulfidogens for the selective recovery of metals from acidic waste streams is discussed.
