Leaching of chalcopyrite concentrate using extreme thermophilic bacteria

The application of thermophilic bacteria to the leaching of a chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) concentrate from the Gibraltar Mine has been investigated in both shake flask and stirred tank reactor experiments. The conventional hydrometallurgical treatment of chalcopyrite is difficult due to a surface pass...
