Microbial copper resistance: importance in biohydrometallurgy
Industrial biomining has been extensively used for many years to recover valuable metals such as copper, gold, uranium and others. Furthermore, microorganisms involved in these processes can also be used to bioremediate places contaminated with acid and metals. These uses are possible due to the great metal resistance that these extreme acidophilic microorganisms possess. In this review, the mo...
متن کاملImportance of the iron cycle in biohydrometallurgy
After the discovery in the 1940s that acid mine drainage was mainly a consequence of the metabolism of chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms able to oxidize metal sulfides, mostly pyrite, much research has been performed to understand the ecology and the physiology of the microorganisms involved. At first, to prevent this environmental problem, and later to improve the efficiency of biohydrometa...
متن کاملMicrobiological Advances in Biohydrometallurgy
The most exciting advances in biohydrometallurgy are occurring in the field of microbiology. The two main technologies employed in biohydrometallurgy, agitated tanks for the processing of refractory concentrates and heaps and dumps for the processing of low-grade ores, are technologically sound and widely practised at commercial scale, but their development began at a time when very little was ...
متن کاملMicrobial resistance or team resistance?
Results Studies show that bacterial resistance is increasing in parallel with antibiotic use, it is estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) that 25 to 33% of patients use antimicrobial drugs during their hospitalization. Although the choice of antibiotic is a doctor’s concern , the administration of drugs is carried out by nursing staff who are nursing assistants and technicians being ...
متن کاملDeveloping of Corrosion Resistance Nano Copper Oxide Coating on Copper using Anodization in Oxalate solution
Copper alloys are widely used in the manufacturing of heat transfer applications, this due to their excellent heat transfer properties. Copper contamination is one of the serious industrial problems in the boiler feed water system. This contamination commonly resulted from copper corrosion reactions in boiler feed water environment. The best way to reduce the copper contamination is by improvin...
