The main aim of this study was to develop an economically viable bacterial leaching process for a gold-containing pyrite/arsenopyrite ore. The effect of various parameters on, and the mechanism of, bacterial leaching were investigated. Initially milled run-of-mine ore was examined. Batch tests and a continuous bacterial leach were carried out. Bacterial leaching was successful and 91-93% gold dissolution was attained in four days. The process was not economically feasible when compared to the standard flotation-roasting process. 2016-09-25T16:47:05Z 2016-09-25T16:47:05Z 1986 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/21903 eng application/pdf Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
