Controlled redox potential microbiological leaching of chalcopyrite
Leaching of chalcopyrite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans under standard microbiological leaching conditions resulted in simultaneous solubilization of copper, iron and sulfur. The sulfide portion was oxidized preferentially over iron in solution suggesting a direct attack mechanism by the bacteria on t...
