We have a copper mine, which combines copper sulfur and copper oxide, that copper oxide extracted using "HEAP LEACH" process . It is now the copper sulfur was remained in the "HEAP LEACH" with a concentration about 1-5%.
My questions are:
Is it possible to extract the sulfur through leaching bacteria?
How much does it cost to buy a bacterium?
How much does it cost to extract copper per kilogram via " HEAP "?
How long does it take to extract the copper for million tons by " HEAP "? (we have more than five million tons of soil combination with copper sulfur)
