The main objective of this study was to optimize bioleaching process parameters for high co-
extraction of base metals (Cu, Ni, Zn, and Cr) from hazardous electroplating sludge using an …

The effect of co-culture microorganisms with different initial proportions on chalcopyrite
bioleaching was investigated. Communities were rebuilt by six typical strains isolated from …

Alaskan coal mines with high rare earth element (REE) levels (286–524 mg/kg) serve as an
alternative domestic REE source. Existing leaching/separation technologies require …

Indigenous iron-oxidizing bacteria were isolated on modified selective 9KFe 2+ medium
from Baiyin copper mine stope, China. Three distinct acidophilic bacteria were isolated and …

Electrochemical and surface analyses were carried out to study the leaching of chalcopyrite
in acid media, aiming to increase copper extraction from low-grade chalcopyrite ores …
