Effect of particle size on the kinetics of microbiological leaching of chalcopyrite

An experimental investigation was undertaken to study the microbiological leaching of chalcopyrite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Leach tests were conducted on a small scale using shake flasks. Tests were done which showed that the optimal time for transfer of inocula was between 6 and 8 days. Atte...
