    Microbial Processing of Metal Sulfides
    (Springer, 2007) Donati Edgado R.; Wolfgang Sand
    The application of microbiological methods to the extraction of metals from minerals has gained a prominent role. It is supported by several bioleaching and biooxidation processes operating at different sites worldwide. In recent years, new techniques and new results about proteomics and bioinformatics have brought a new perspective on microbial processes. This book focuses on the basic aspects of the process with special emphasis on recent contributions regarding the chemical and microbial aspects of the bioleaching process and the use of microorganisms in the treatment of complex ores and concentrates. It has been written by recognized researchers in order to introduce the main subjects of microbial processing to undergraduate and postgraduate students, scientists working in this field, as well as interested industrialists.
