Potential of extremophilic and native microbial consortia in the bioleaching of heavy metals on mining process

Mining is a significant economic activity in many countries, resulting in the release of wastewater with high concentrations of heavy metals and other harmful compounds. Leaching is a treatment technique for these effluents, allowing the recovery of precious metals through solubilization, but it gen...
