Quantifying microorganisms during biooxidation of arsenite and bioleaching of zinc sulfide

Zinc recovery during refractory ore biooxidation by an indigenous consortium

“…During biooxidation processes, other valuable metals can be released to the solutions by microbial action (Dinkla et al, 2013;Kaewkannetra et al, 2009;Kondrat'eva et al, 2012). The recovery of such metals as subproducts of the main process would allow not only an economical advantage but also an environmental improvement, decreasing the metallic charge of the leachates from the biooxidation tanks.…”
