About this document

Bioleaching Process for Gold Recovery by Om kesarwani is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses bioleaching as a novel approach for metal recovery from solids using microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. It then focuses on the history and mechanism of bioleaching gold. Specifically, it details how bacteria like Acidobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidobacillus thiooxidans play a role in oxidizing sulfides and ferrous ions, producing acids that solubilize gold from ore in a more eco-friendly way than cyanidation. Finally, it lists some other organisms that have potential for gold bio
