An investigation of the kinetics of thermophilic microbial ferrous iron oxidation in continuous culture

Includes bibliographical references (p. 121-135). === The potential of thermophilic micro-organisms to bioleach primary copper sulfides and other minerals has led to the need to develop a fundamental understanding of the mechanistic process involved. Ferrous iron oxidation has been established as a...
