Description

Manganese Mining Microorganisms covers the latest amalgamation of the diversity of Mn biomining microorganisms, their biosolubilization mechanisms, and their role in natural manganese biogeochemical cycling. The book demonstrates the role of microorganisms as applied to manganese recovery from ores using bacteria. This new book provides an in-depth view of the latest trends in green mining, along with mechanistic views of biomining and bio recovery processes for both academic (undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral students and lecturers/researchers) and industrial readers.
