Bioleaching (Biomining) Advantages, Process & More | Anglo …

Direct bioleaching uses minerals that are easily receptive to oxidation to create a direct enzymatic strike using the microorganisms to separate the metal and the ore. In indirect bioleaching, microorganisms are not in direct contact with minerals during the process. However, leaching agents are created by microbes, which still oxidise the ore.
