Compared to conventional extractive techniques, bacterial assisted leaching, also called
“biomining” is an eco-friendly technology that provides improved metal/solid separations …

We measured the Cu isotopic composition of primary minerals and stream water affected by
acid mine drainage in a mineralized watershed (Colorado, USA). The δ65Cu values (based …

Microbial biotechnology has become an indispensable field with many uses in industrial
operations and environmental control. Industrial microbial bioprocess development is an …

Previous studies demonstrated that the bioleaching of municipal solid waste incinerator fly
ash by Aspergillus niger was an efficient “green technology” for heavy metals removal …

Three kinds of samples (acid mine drainage, coal mine wastewater, and thermal spring)
derived from different sites were collected in China. Thereafter, these samples were …

Microbial communities inhabiting the acid mine drainage (AMD) have been extensively
studied, but the microbial communities in the coal mining waste dump that may generate the …

The aim of this investigation was to determine the efficacy of chalcopyrite bioleaching using
pure cultures of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans or Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and a mixed …

Copper is a strategic raw material widely needed for electrification. One possibility to
diversify the supply to answer the market demand is to produce copper with in situ …

The aim of this paper is to determine the efficiency of bioleaching of arsenic in realgar, a
Chinese mineral drug, using pure cultures of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans or …

A strain of Leptospirillum sp. CC previously isolated from Akhtala polymetallic ore (Armenia)
was studied. The main morphological and physiological characteristics of CC were …
