This study was conducted in Mouteh grinding circuit. Mouteh gold processing plant is located in Esfahan province,center of Iran, close to Mouteh open pit mine. One of the main problems in this circuit is low efficiency grinding operation. In this study, first grinding circuit and its performance parameters are evaluated. Laboratory and corrected operating Bond work index subsequently were calcu...

the mouteh refractory pyrite concentrates at pulp densities of 1.5%, 3%, 4.5% and 6% were treated, using thiobacillus ferrooxidans dsm 581 and the same bacteria adapted on the mouteh pyritic concentrate. compared with a non-adapted culture, use of an adapted inoculum of t. ferrooxidans increased bioleaching rate of iron by a factor of 1.940, 2.011, 1.859 and 1.559 for pulp densities 1.5%, 3%, 4...

ovis orientalis isphahanica has a restricted geographical range and is listed as vulnerable by iucn. however, there is not enough data on habitat associations of this taxon to be used as a base for conservation programmes. use of vegetation communities by isfahan mouflon in mouteh wildlife refuge was studied over a one-year period. habitat use was related to vegetation communities and habitat v...

the term biomining have been coined to refer to the use of microorganisms in mining processes as in the biooxidation of refractory gold minerals. the biooxidation of refractory gold ores presents similar characteristics when compared with roasting and pressure oxidation. almost without exception, microbial extraction procedures are more environmentally friendly. the isolated bacteria in this st...
