Producing Copper Nature's Way: Bioleaching
Bioleaching is the extraction of a metal from sulfide ores or concentrates using materials found native to the environment; namely, water, air and microorganisms. In other words, bioleaching is the commercialization of the ability of certain bacteria and archaea, found in nature, to catalyze the oxidation of sulfide minerals.

Extracting Gold from E-Waste
Acid Treatment. The combination of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid have been found to be useful chemicals in the extraction of gold from e-waste. Other mild acids have also been successful in their extraction of gold, as these acids can successfully dissolve gold while limiting their potential to cause adverse effects to the environment.

The capability of gold extraction with the copper–citrate–thiosulfate solution is comparable to that of cyanidation or traditional copper–ammonia–thiosulfate systems. 28,29 Moreover, the consumption of thiosulfate can be greatly reduced due to the lower potential of the Cu 2 Cit 2 H −2 4− /Cu(S 2 O 3) 3 5− redox couple.

The mechanism of gold extraction and copper
Higher gold extraction and lower copper concentration in the final leach was achieved in the cyanide–caustic system than in either the cyanide–ammonia or conventional cyanidation processes. The effects of the caustic soda (pH) concentration or cyanide concentration on gold extraction and copper suppression have also been studied. ...

Gold leaching using the copper–ethylenediamine–thiosulfate (Cu2+-en-S2O32−) system, which contains copper–ethylenediamine complexes, instead of the use of copper–ammonia catalysis, is environmentally friendly and cost-effective. In this study, pyrite and Ni2+ were added to the Cu2+-en-S2O32− system to clarify their individual and …
