Bioleaching is a common term used for biomining, in which the microbes are used for metal extraction from low-grade ores. It engages the mobilization of positively charged heavy metal ions from the insoluble ores by biological dissolution processes and bio-oxidation.
view moreMicrobial leaching ( bioleaching) is also proposed for the decontamination of polluted solid waste, soils, or sediments. Successful demonstration of the bioleaching of toxic metals from an anaerobically digested sewage sludge was demonstrated on a technological scale.

Initially, a leaching process as a pretreatment was conducted using 0.23 M oxalic acid at 80 °C, with 200 rpm agitation for 4 h, at a pulp density of 10 g/L.

The resource recovery from E-waste using bioleaching method has been studied extensively and explored at a laboratory scale.

They reported that redox potential increased relatively rapidly to the maximum value (650 mV) in bacterial cultures and improved copper dissolution while the chemical leaching was unaffected under these conditions.

Bioleaching experiments with a mixed Acidithiobacillus -culture were carried out in shake flasks as well as in column percolators with crushed and sieved sphalerite-rich ore from a former mine in the German Harz Mountains. Efficient sphalerite dissolution in the bioleaching assays was observed in contrast to the chemical leaching ...

The dissolution of metal sulfides occurs via two chemical pathways, either the thiosulfate or the polysulfide pathway. These are determined by the metal sulfides’ mineralogy and their acid solubility. The microbial cell enables metal sulfide dissolution …
