A comparison between terrestrial and space biomining will also be presented, focusing on the differences in the composition of minerals on Earth and space, the types of microorganisms used for leaching, and the parameters that need to be optimised in the space biomining processes.

Biomining is an applied biotechnology for mineral processing and metal extraction from ores and concentrates. This alternative technology for recovering metals involves the hydrometallurgical processes known as bioleaching and biooxidation where the metal is directly solubilized or released from the matrix for further solubilization, …

Biomining is also an environmentally friendly technique releasing only gases that the bacteria secrete. Bioleaching can partially replace the extensive crushing and grinding that translates to high cost and energy consumption in a conventional process. Bioleaching is much cleaner than the traditional heap leaching using cyanide.

The genus Aspergillus, in which stands out the species A. niger, includes filamentous fungi, which grow preferentially in oxygen-rich environments and in pH ranges between 5.0 and 7.0. However, unlike most biomining microorganisms, they tolerate a wide variation in the pH values of the culture medium.

3. The need for Biomining and Bioleaching Biomining will become more important as high- grade surface mineral deposits are worked out and become less viable, and mining companies will be forced to find other mineral sources. These will include the working of low-grade ore deposits, mine tailings, mine dumps, and worked-out mines. …

Bioleaching comparisons over a 21-day incubation period showed that introducing M. sedula ARS50-2 to a consortium of other Metallosphaera species led to increased leaching rates and copper recovery from enargite compared to the original consortium (Fig. 8) (Ai et al., 2017). This difference was more pronounced when higher pulp densities (3.0% w ...

Methods of biomining. Bioleaching: A classic method of biomining. In this method, low-grade ore is dumped into a heap called leach pile and then soaked with a weak sulfuric acid wash. Then acid reacts with the ores sulfide matrix and encourages the growth of bacterial strain which starts to degrade ore and releases minerals or metals in …

Redox reaction is the key step of biomining process which is based either on direct or indirect bioleaching. The main difference between the two mechanisms is the direct contact between the microorganisms and the reduced minerals. Apart from the economic benefits, biomining also reduces the problem of acid mine drainage (AMD).
