Bioleaching of complex zinc sulphides using mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria: comparative importance of pH and iron.
Biotechnology particularly
bioleaching, is regarded as one of the most promising solution to these problems, because it has the potential of reducing the capital cost of intervention and offers the opportunity to reduce environmental pollution [12].
