Bioleaching: The next era in refractory mineral processing

From: Engineering and Mining Journal | Date: May 1, 1999| Author: | Copyright information

There are many challenges facing individual mining companies, if not individual properties, when expanding operations. One of the largest is the development and/or implementation of the most efficient mining and mineral processing technologies. The most efficient technology does not always the mean the most advanced, at least from strictly a recovery point of view. Throw in the latest environmental requirements which have become the global benchmark, and the best applied technology changes. Application of a mass roasting operation in-and-of-itself might satisfy recovery requirements, but ...
