From: Comparison of three different bioleaching systems for Li recovery from lepidolite
Distribution of Li between solution and biomass during bioleaching of lepidolite (A) and efficiency of the lepidolite bioleaching (B) by consortium of A. ferrooxidans and A. thiooxidans (bacteria), A. niger (fungi) and R. mucilaginosa (yeast) (fungi: initial ore concentration 10 g l−1, t = 21 °C, pH = 5.1, statically, standard medium, yeast: 10 g l−1, t = 21 °C, pH = 5.1, shaking 160 rpm, rich medium and bacteria: 10 g l−1, t = 30 °C, pH = 1.5, statically, poor medium).
