Saline Water Bioleaching with Thermophilic Fe(Ii) Oxidizing Microorganisms

The chloride tolerance of three Fe (II)- and sulfur-oxidising thermophiles and the effect of chloride on metals extraction from mineral sulfides were studied. Initially, 10-day bioleaching tests (60 °C) were conducted using pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) or pentlandite ((Ni,Fe)9S8) concentrate...
