Enhancing the Leaching of Chalcopyrite Using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans under the Induction of Surfactant Triton X-100

Chalcopyrite is the richest copper sulfide mineral in the world, but it is also the most resistant to biohydrometallurgical processing. To promote the bioleaching of chalcopyrite, a nonionic surfactant, t-octyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol (Triton X-100), was employed in this paper. Action of Triton X...
