2021427 · Sulfidic copper–lead–zinc tailings can pose a significant environmental threat, ranging from generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) to dam failures. On the other hand, they can also be considered as low-grade ore resources for zinc and copper provided that novel economically feasible metal extraction and metal recovery techniques are …

In this study, we tested a mesophilic and acidophilic microbial consortium to bioleach copper, cobalt and other valuable metals from the bulk Rammelsberg mine tailings and a sulfidic tailings flotation concentrate.

Cobalt was found to be closely associated with the nickel-bearing pentlandite phase of the ore sample.

Thus, to improve the rate through overcoming the hindered dissolution of chalcopyrite, this study investigated the influence of chloride addition into leaching lixiviant.
