A Comparative Study on Bioleaching Properties of Various Sulfide Minerals Using <i>Acidiphilium cryptum</i>

Bioleaching has been regarded as a green alternative to chemical leaching in metal extraction processes. In this study, the bioleaching properties of indigenous acidophilic bacteria for various sulfide minerals were compared and evaluated in terms of pH reduction and metal leaching. The primary mine...
