Potential of thermophilic bioleaching, effect of temperature on the process performance
Includes bibliographies. === Bioleaching is a biohydrometallurgical process whereby mineral sulphides are metabolically oxidised by microorganisms, releasing precious metals encapsulated in them. This pre-treatment is based on the action of microorganisms affecting oxidation of reduced sulphur speci...
