2022511 · Now, miners aim to use bacteria or other newly developed chemicals to extract even more copper from that waste rock in a secondary leaching process. That could enable them to produce copper at ...
view moreThe 3 most common commercial biomining processes are: 1. Slope Leaching. Fine ore is kept in a large, slope-shaped dump. During slope leaching, a water solution made of inoculum is continuously sprayed over the ore. After that, the leach liquor (or remaining liquid) is gathered at the bottom and processed for supplemental metal recovery. 2.
view moreMicrobial leaching is the process by which metals are dissolved from ore bearing rocks using microorganisms. For the last 10 centuries, microorganisms have assisted in the recovery of copper dissolved in drainage from water. Thus biomining has emerge as an important branch of biotechnology in recent years. Microbial technology renders helps in ...

This method effectively obtained bio-recovery of Cu (80%) in not more than 6 h. ... Bioleaching of metals from waste printed circuit boards using bacterial isolates native to abandoned gold mine. Biometals …

By utilizing the liquid obtained from cassava that contains 267 mg/L of free cyanide as a leaching agent in the gold extraction process from the gold ore, 50% of the gold was extracted in 24 h.
