Mining biotechnology for value recovery and environmental sustainability

Wallberg WB407 @ 200 College St., Toronto

Mining biotechnology provides sustainable alternatives to traditional mining methods for extracting value from low grade ores and wastes. Moreover, biotechnology can be harnessed to treat (bio)hydrometallurgical and mine waters and decrease the environmental footprint of mining operations. This presentation will give an overview of CSIRO activities in bioleaching and bio-oxidation of low-grade ores, mine wastes […]
