In contaminant plumes or in the case of ore bodies, a source current density is produced at depth in response to the presence of a gradient of the redox potential.
In this paper, a general unsteady-state model of particle dissolution is applied to a case of ore leaching in a batch process.
In cases where the next step is leaching (most frequently in the case of oxide ores), complete liberation of the copper minerals is not always necessary; the ore needs to be crushed and ground only to the extent required to expose the surface of the minerals to the leaching agent.
The second step, involving either smelting or leaching, removes a large proportion of impurity elements in particular iron and, in the case of sulfide ores, sulfur.
Zinc ores are recovered by many mining techniques, ranging from open-pit mining (mainly in the case of oxidized ore bodies, which are located closer to Earth's surface) to the normal underground methods (used for the more deeply located sulfide ores).

The case of iron ore was cited by Edwin Eichler, chief executive of ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe, one of the Continent's biggest steel producers.
Respectively, twice bigger quantity of ammonium will be released to environment in case of iron ore-based biosealing.
In the case of iron ore, in mid-December it was trading at about US$70 a tonne, the lowest level since 2009.
In the case of copper ore concentrates, the highest concentration of arsenic was observed when siderophores solution of Serratia sp. OM17 was used (1.66 times higher than in the control)).
