摘要
Biooxidation of copper-zinc concentrate with the use of consortia of mesophilic and moderately thermophilic acidophilic chemolithotrophic microorganisms was studied. Pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite were the main sulfide minerals of the concentrate. The possibility in principal of complete selective leaching of zinc from sulfide concentrate coupled with minimal recovery of copper (less than 20%) was demonstrated. Selective leaching of zinc could be caused by galvanic interactions between minerals of the concentrate during the biooxidation. The results can be used as the basis for the development of the technologies for production of grade copper concentrate not containing zinc from sulfide copper-zinc concentrate obtained from refractory ores.
