Bioleaching: Making Mining Sustainable. The environmental consequences of mining and quarrying are vast, as highlighted in the mining section. Due to an increase in consumerism, heightened dependence on technology, and an overall world population growth, more and more minerals and metals need to be extracted from the earth's surface as shown in Figure 1.

SERVICIO EN LÍNEAHeap Leaching - Mining Fundamentals. Heap leaching is an industrial mining process of separating precious metals, copper, and other minerals, from ores. It involves a series of chemical processes, through which the mineral ores are piled into the form of a heap, and a leach solution is spread over the ore surface to leach metal from the heap.

SERVICIO EN LÍNEAISR (in situ leaching, also known as in situ recovery (ISR) or solution mining) involves using liquids (commonly referred to as "leaching liquors" or "lixivants"), which are pumped through the orebody while it is in the ground to recover the minerals from the ore by leaching. Consequently there is little surface disturbance and no tailings or waste rock are generated. However, the
SERVICIO EN LÍNEAThe leaching liquid (often sulfuric acid) is introduced on the top of the pile and percolates down until it reaches a liner below the pile, where it is caught and pumped to a processing plant. During leaching, piles present a hazard because of release of dust, radon gas and leaching liquid.
