Description :
Biohydrometallurgy or bacterial metal leaching is the technology which utilizes biochemical oxidation process, catalyzed by living organisms for extracting metals from ores. In India, which has vast resources of various minerals, for both high as well as low grade ores, biohydrometallurgy could be well exploited with the use of suitable microbes. In the present study enrichment of bacteria in nutrient broth is carried out by inoculating mine water samples, soil samples and pipeline deposits. Using streak plate method and pour plate method the enriched bacteria were isolated based on biochemical and morphological characteristics. Acclimatization of bacteria in manganese ore is in progress. Industrial waste was used as the leaching medium and the parameter studied include
- Effect of dilution
- Effect of pH
- Effect of different concentration
- Effect of FeSO4
