RECOVERY OF COPPER FROM COPPER BEARING SULPHIDE MINERALS BY BIOLEACHING WITH CONTROLLED OXYGEN FEED
摘要
<p>A method of recovering copper from a copper bearing sulphide mineral which includes the steps of subjecting the slurry to a bioleaching process, supplying a feed gas which contains in excess of 21 % oxygen by volume, to the slurry, and recovering copper from a bioleach residue of the bioleaching process.</p>
