Enhancement of arsenopyrite bioleaching by different Fe(III) compounds through changing composition and structure of passivation layer

Ferric iron has a significant effect on the bioleaching of arsenopyrite, the most efficient way for pretreatment of arsenopyrite-bearing gold ores. Up to date, the differential effect of Fe(III) compounds on that process was rarely studied. Herein, FeCl3, Fe(NO3)3 and Fe2O3 were addressed to unravel...
