Author:Tshilombo, A F; Petersen, J; Dixon, D GDate:2002Electrochemical techniques were conducted to clarify the role of solution potential and temperature under a variety of experimental conditions similar to those found during the mesophilic and thermophilic biooxidation of chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). ...Read morecbnd
Author:Petersen, J; Dixon, D GDate:2007A comprehensive modelling study of the HydroZinc™ heap bioleach process, using the HeapSim modelling tool, is described. The model was calibrated on the basis of a small number of column leach experiments and compared against pilot heap test ...Read more
Author:Petersen, J; Dixon, D GDate:2002Thermophiles have been shown to be the only micro-organisms to leach chalcopyrite successfully. Heap leaching may be a feasible alternative to conventional bio-reactors, providing a high temperature environment can be maintained within the ...Read morecbnd
