Bioleaching
Bioleaching processes are originated in the mining industry. We are currently using them in a modified way to treat residues form waste incineration plants
containing minerals and metals. The target can be the re-use of minerals, reduction of heavy metals
or the recovery of metals.
About Bioleaching
Added Value from Incineration Slag
Leaching of Wood Ash
Bioleaching is often used in copper and gold mining to recover metals from low-metalcontent-ore with the help of bacterial and chemical treatment.
Ash from wood incineration contains a high level of heavy metals. They can be removed and reused as trace elements.
