Bioleaching of Copper | SpringerLink
Abstract. Natural bioleaching has been taking place for almost as long as the history of the world, but it is only in the last few decades that we have realized that bioleaching is responsible for acid production in some mining wastes, and that this bacterial activity can be used to liberate some metals. The application of the bioleaching
