Complex metal sulfide ores, such as lead-zinc ores in China, are challenging to treat using traditional metallurgy processes. This study explores the efficacy of bioleaching as a method for processing various metals, including copper, nickel, zinc, uranium, and refractory gold. The research reviews the application of both dump/heap bioleaching and tank bioleaching/biooxidation processes, compiling data from several key studies highlighting advancements in biohydrometallurgy. The methodology involves analyzing the isolation of various acidophilic, iron and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from acid mine drainage (AMD) sites and similar environments, essential for enhancing bioleaching processes. Findings indicate that the presence of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and other relevant microorganisms contributes significantly to the bioleaching of sulfide minerals, showcasing a promising alternative to conventional processing techniques. This paper argues that leveraging microbial activity could potentially transform the treatment of complex metal sulfide ores, making it a vital area for further research and development in mineral processing technologies.
