Bioleaching of copper via iron oxidation from chalcopyrite at elevated temperatures

The effect of elevated temperature on the bioleaching of copper from chalcopyrite, (CuFeS2) via iron oxidation using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans under mesophilic conditions was studied. It was shown that temperature tolerant and ore adapted strains of At. ferrooxidans could extract copper signifi...
