Detailed explanation-1: -Bioleaching (or biomining) is a process in mining and biohydrometallurgy (natural processes of interactions between microbes and minerals) that extracts valuable metals from a low-grade ore with the help of microorganisms such as bacteria or archaea.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bioleaching is a simple and effective technology for metal extraction from low-grade ores and mineral concentrates. Metal recovery from sulfide minerals is based on the activity of chemolithotrophic bacteria, mainly Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and T.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some bacteria make a chemical that breaks bonds in copper sulfide minerals; other bacteria produce sulfuric acid, which draws the copper into a liquid solution. And microbes can help break down minerals embedded with gold with an assist from sodium cyanide, which dissolves the exposed precious metal.
