In this regard, the present work assessed the bioleaching of two chalcopyrite ores—containing % Cu (copper ore 1) and % Cu (copper ore 2) by the extreme thermophilic archaea Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. In addition, the effect of different NaCl concentrations ( − mol/L) on copper extraction were investigated.

1 of 2. next ›. Biomining is mineral processing with microbes. Biomining is the process of using microorganisms (microbes) to extract metals of economic interest from rock ores or mine waste. Biomining techniques may also be used to clean up sites that have been polluted with metals. Valuable metals are commonly bound up in solid minerals.

Bioleaching is the extraction of a metal from sulfide ores or concentrates using materials found native to the environment; namely, water, air and microorganisms. In other words, bioleaching is the commercialization of the ability of certain bacteria and archaea, found in nature, to catalyze the oxidation of sulfide minerals.

Heap leaching. Heap leaching is another common method used to extract copper from lowgrade ore. The process involves placing the ore on a lined pad and then sprinkling it with a solution that contains sulfuric acid. The acid leaches the copper out of the ore and into the solution, which is then collected and processed to concentrate the copper.
