Review Beginnings of rational
bioleaching and highlights in the development of biohydrometallurgy: A brief
history
The origin of a rational (scientific) approach to extraction of metal values
from ores with the aid of microorganisms (bioleaching) is traced. The
removal by microbiological means of ore constituents that interfere with
metal extraction (biobeneficiation), an outgrowth from bioleaching, is also
traced. |
