Developing quantitative approaches to determine microbial colonisation and activity in mineral bioleaching and characterisation of acid rock drainage
Colonisation of mineral surfaces by acidophilic microorganisms during bioleaching is important for accelerating the extraction of valuable metals from mineral sulfide ores of varying grades through biohydrometallurgy. It also influences acid formation and mineral deportment from sulfidic waste rock...
