Role of Ag<sup>+</sup> in the Bioleaching of Arsenopyrite by <i>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</i>

Arsenopyrite (FeAsS) is often associated with gold, but pre-treatment is necessary prior to gold leaching, mainly due to the gold encapsulation in the matrix of FeAsS. Bio-oxidation is attractive and promising, largely due to its simplicity, low cost and environmental friendliness. A critical proble...
