DESCRIPTION:
biomining: the technology of the new millenium The biological processe for the dissolution and recovery of metals from ores, concentrates an wastes is one of thw most mdern techs to be applied in the near future for mining sector. Bacteria are able to degradate some heavy metals emplying many mechanisms given an added value to the metallutgical process.. Biomining L. G. Treadgold This book is a must for mineral processing engineers who want an in depth perspective of Biologicak aspects of metls extraction. Although expensive it is an excellent reference tool. Five Stars Burly Squid Excellent book on biomining. Essential for anyone in the industry or interested in the topic.
Having developed from a very simple operational (in terms of both engineering and biology) process, biomining has developed into a multifaceted technology, to the extent that many of the largest industrial stirred tanks and heaps throughout the world are employed for bioprocessing minerals. This book has a strong applied approach and describes emerging and established industrial processes, as well as the underlying theory of the process, and the biology of the microorganisms involved. Biomining is the biotechnology that uses microorganisms to recover metals, in particular copper and gold, from ores and concentrates. Chapters have been written by personnel from leading biomining companies, consultants and internationally recognized researchers and academics.
