Development of an unsteady state model for the tank bioleaching of sulphide mineral concentrates in flow reactor systems
Includes bibliographical references. === In this thesis, it is hypothesized that in bioleaching flow reactor systems, high reaction rate regions exist that can be maintained by application of biological stress trajectories. Reactor models are developed for the purpose of optimising plant operation,...
