Effect of Initial Cell Concentration on Bio-Oxidation of Pyrite before Gold Cyanidation

Bio-oxidation of refractory sulfidic gold minerals has been applied at the commercial scale as a pre-treatment to improve gold yields and reduce chemical consumption during gold cyanidation. In this study, the effect of initial cell concentration on the oxidation of pyritic gold ore was evaluated wi...
