Bioleaching of metal sulfides is performed by diverse microorganisms. The dissolution of
metal sulfides occurs via two chemical pathways, either the thiosulfate or the polysulfide …

Massive and ambitious underground space development projects are being undertaken by
many countries around the world to decongest megacities, improve the urban landscapes …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) or acid rock drainage (ARD) is considered as one of the main
pollutants of water in many countries that have historic or current mining activities. Its …

Bioleaching of metal sulfides is performed by a diverse group of microorganisms. The
dissolution chemistry of metal sulfides follows two pathways, which are determined by the …

This book presents an introduction to the chemistry of the solid-water interface. Stressing
surface chemical principles that can be applied in the geochemistry of natural waters, soils …

Water is needed at mine sites for dust suppression, mineral processing, coal washing, and
hydrometallurgical extraction. For these applications, water is mined from surface water …

The iron sulfides constitute a diverse group of solids and dissolved complexes many of
which play key roles in marine systems. The group is particularly complex in the lower …

Bioleaching of metal sulfides is caused by astonishingly diverse groups of bacteria. Today,
at least 11 putative prokaryotic divisions can be related to this phenomenon. In contrast, the …

Pyrite is the earth's most abundant sulfide mineral. Its frequent undesirable association with
minerals of economic value such as sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena, and precious …

The flotation separation of chalcopyrite from pyrite has attracted increasing attention due to
the consumption of vast water resources and depressants. This study proposed the …
