摘要
Two pyrite biooxidation heaps of approximately 160 tonnes each were built and operated at S.G.M., Furtei, from July to November 2000. The heaps were supplied with forced air ventilation and irrigation. Heap temperature data as well as the results of solution assays are reported. The biooxidation of pyrite in heaps has the potential to be a low cost treatment route for the Furtei Sa Perrima pyrite orebody.
