All the flasks, tubes, containers and huge tanks are full of microbes: Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Thiobacillus ferrooxidans bacteria, harnessed by the firm to break down minerals in order ...

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, for instance, is used for oxidising ferrous iron and sulphur. Rio Tinto has also developed “Nuton”, its process of infusing crushed rock with proprietary ...

Bioleaching relies on the metabolism of certain naturally occurring bacteria, such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, which produce oxidising agents that dissolve metals into solution. The metals ...
