Promising Areas of Chemical and Microbiological Treatment of Nonferrous and Precious Metal Mineral Resources

Abstract

The contemporary state and main problems of chemical and microbiological technology for processing mineral resources are analyzed. The main problems are given for the use of technogenic raw material. Results are analyzed for pilot plant work using physicochemical geotechnology for opening up deposits of hard economic minerals. Promising areas are considered for development of technology using achievements of chemistry and microbiology for innovative development of the mining and metallurgical complex in the 21st century.
