Carbon Material with High Specific Surface Area Improves Complex Copper Ores’ Bioleaching Efficiency by Mixed Moderate Thermophiles

The catalysis of carbon materials with different specific surface areas (SSA) (2, 400, 800 and 1200 m2/g) on complex copper ores bioleaching by moderately mixed thermophiles was investigated. The copper extractions increased with the rise in SSA of carbon materials. A recovery of 98.8% copper in the...
