Research of oxidized and poor ores of Aktogay Mine on the pliability of copper leachability using bacteria and subsequent implementation of the heap bioleaching project at the Aktogay mine

This article discusses a complex of works on research and the implementation of bioleaching technology at the Aktogay mine to increase copper recovery from oxidized copper ores. Bacterial leaching (Bioleaching) is a hydrometallurgical process of extracting chemical elements or their compounds from ores, concentrates, technogenic raw materials with the help of microorganisms1.
