Biomining is the use of microorganisms in the recovery of metals
from ores. During bioleaching, metals such as copper, nickel or
zinc are oxidized through microbial action from the water-insoluble
sulfide to the soluble sulfate forms. Although gold is inert to
microbial action, microbes can also be used in gold recovery from
certain types of ores because as they oxidize the ore, they open up
its structure, thereby allowing a gold-solubilizing agent such as
cyanide to penetrate the ore. The book describes several industrial
bioleaching and biooxidation processes as well as the underlying
theory and biology of the microbes involved.
