Mathematical modelling of agglomerate scale phenomena in heap bioleaching

Bioleaching is a naturally occurring process that has been harnessed in metal recovery from low grade ores. The heap bioleaching technique involves complex interactions between chemical reactions, microbial processes and transport processes. The need for efficient heap operations has led to the scie...
