Leaching is the key unit operation in metallurgical processes. It is the dissolution of metals from their natural ores into a liquid medium. Leaching processes are classified based on the method used for the leaching of metals, i.e. hydrometallurgy (chemicals) or bio-hydrometallurgy (microbial mediated leaching).

Zinc production from sulphide concentrates has traditionally been achieved via the Roasting – Leaching – Electrowinning (RLE) flowsheet. This processing route, however, is associated with the generation of large quantities of hazardous leach residues which cause environmental issues in terms of residue handling and storage, along with ...
