Bioleaching of Arsenic-Rich Gold Concentrates by Bacterial
During bioleaching of arsenic-rich gold concentrates, the density of the mutant bacterial cells reached to cells/mL at 15 days, more than 10 times compared with that of the original culture. The extraction of iron reached to 95.7% after 15 days, increased by 9.9% compared with that of the original culture.Web
