Bioleaching of iron from laterite soil using an isolated Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain and application of leached laterite iron as Fenton's catalyst in selective herbicide degradation.

A novel isolated strain Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans BMSNITK17 has been investigated for its bioleaching potential from lateritic soil and the results are presented. System conditions like pH, feed mineral particle size, pulp density, temperature, rotor speed influences bioleaching potential of Ac...
