Fungal Bioleaching of Metals From Mine Tailing: Mineral Processing …

Abstract. The present study was undertaken to develop an economically feasible and environmental-friendly technique to recover metals (Ni, Cu, Co, Zn, Mg) from mine tailing by employing Penicillium chrysogenum strain KBS3. The potential of Penicillium chrysogenum in generating a variety of organic acids was studied and the effect of …
