Investigating variables affecting heap (bio)leaching through determining access to sub-surface mineral grains by micro-scale X-ray tomography
Heap bioleaching is a hydrometallurgical technology, used to facilitate the extraction of valuable metals such as copper, gold, nickel and uranium from low-grade, typically sulphidic, ores. The process is highly complex as it is influenced by interactions of different sub-processes including flow of...
