Bioleaching of a low-grade copper ore: Linking leach chemistry and microbiology

Three largely-independent studies were undertaken on the same heap leach system during the period of transition from processing oxidised ores to sulfide ores: monitoring of heap solutions for microorganisms, analysis of samples from a spent heap, and column tests. Microbial cell numbers and diversit...
