Studies on the mechanism and kinetics of bioleaching with special reference to the bioleaching of refractory gold-bearing arsenopyrite

Includes bibliographies. === Bioleaching is now an established technology for the leaching of whole-ore copper heaps and the pre-treatment of refractory arsenical gold ores and concentrates. For the case of refractory arsenical gold concentrates, it offers an economically feasible alternative to pre...
