Verfahren zur mikrobiellen Laugung von sulfidhaltigen Materialien und Verwendung von schwefelhaltigen Aminosäuren bei der mikrobiellen Laugung

摘要

The invention relates to an effective and environmentally safe process for the microbial leaching of sulfidic materials, particularly of sulfide ores such as pyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, bornite, or covelline, which process is characterized in that the aqueous leaching fluid is added with sulfur-containing amino acids or derivatives thereof. The invention is also directed to the use of sulfur-containing amino acids or derivatives thereof in the microbial leaching of sulfidic materials, particularly in pyrite leaching.
