This Special Issue of Minerals presents recent, select studies that highlight advances in the fields of hydro- and biohydrometallurgy. It aims to attract the interest of readers and especially of young scientists and students in this fascinating scientific discipline.
The topics addressed include the following:
– Stirred reactor and heap leaching of laterites (limonitic and saprolitic), as well as iron control during atmospheric acid leaching;
– Leaching of a typical porphyry copper sulfide deposit from Antofagasta, Chile, using chloride-ferrous solutions;
– Leaching of chalcopyrite ores with various leaching media;
– Leaching of white metal from a Teniente converter in NaCl-H2SO4 media;
– Study of the galvanic effect of pyrite and arsenopyrite during the leaching of gold ores;
– Leaching of marine nodules in the presence of reducing agents to extract Mn;
– Bioleaching of gold ores in the presence of iodide-oxidizing bacteria;
– A two-step sequential leaching process, involving bioleaching and chemical leaching, to treat apatite ores containing P and U impurities;
– Bioreductive dissolution of iron minerals present in monazite in stirred reactors using Acidithiobacillus (A.) species;
– Heap leaching of municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash (MSWI BA) for the recovery of Zn and Cu.
