KIT AND METHOD TO PERFORM A BIOLOGICAL TEST DESIGNED TO EVALUATE MINERALS POTENTIAL FOR BEING BIOLEACHED

摘要

A kit and method to perform a biological assay for evaluating the bioleachingpotential of minerals, which allows to know the metallurgic response ofminerals forgeomining-metallurgic short and mid term planning, wherein the kit comprises apropylenetube-type container which has a line that specifies the liquid filling level,where is itpossible to place a propylene sphere that floats at the liquid level and ithas a plastic twistoff cup on the upper extreme, while in the lower extreme or base there is alyophilizedbiomass (powder) in charge of the mineral leaching.
