Low grade ores – Smelt, leach or concentrate? (2010, background): “Heap leaching was originally developed to process copper oxide ores, but was subsequently modified to accomodate an increased contribution from sulphide minerals in the ore (Watling, 2006).”
Review of Biohydrometallurgical Metals Extraction from Polymetallic Mineral Resources (2014, background): “Currently, the technologies of choice are heap or dump leaching, both of which have been commercialised on very large scales for the leaching of copper sulfide ores [30,164] but historically, in situ and in stope bioleaching have received considerable attention for the extraction of copper [232,233]”
Copper Metallurgical Slags – Current Knowledge and Fate: A Review (2015, background): “They are able to survive in the environment reaching even a pH of 0.7 (Watling, 2006), which makes them especially interesting for bioleaching.”
Bacterial Extracellular Polysaccharides Involved in Biofilm Formation (2009, background): “Early commercial applications of bioleaching processes using this bacterium to recover a variety of metals from low-grade ores [55] included copper [56] and uranium extraction [57].”
Recent progress in biohydrometallurgy and microbial characterisation (2018, methodology): “Multidimensional models, such as the Phelps Dodge copper stockpile model (Bennett et al., 2003) and the CSIRO Heap model (Leahy et al., 2007; Watling, 2006) have enabled the simulation of two phases (gas and liquid).”
Bioleaching of gold from waste printed circuit boards by Chromobacterium violaceum (2015, background): “Gold bioleaching processes from ores have been used successfully on a commercial scale, but it is just getting started from e-waste [30].”
New approaches for extracting and recovering metals from mine tailings (2017, background): “This mineral (the most abundant copper mineral) is notoriously difficult to 92 effectively oxidise using conventional bioleaching approaches (reviewed in Watling, 2006).”
Heap Leaching Technology—Current State, Innovations, and Future Directions: A Review (2015, methodology): “…detect and quantify populations, is a significant advancement and is a valuable tool in accurately describing biodiversity and following changes over time of microbial consortia present in bioleaching systems (Demergasso et al. 2005; Coram-Uliana et al. 2006; Watling 2006; Remonsellez et al. 2007).”
