Popis: Bioleaching of arsenic (As)-rich, so-called “dirty” concentrates can produce additional Cu value from the flotation waste while simultaneously releasing toxic As. This study bioleached three such concentrates of varying pyrite/enargite ratios ([Py]/[Ena] = 0.7, 1.3 and 2.4) at a pulp density of 20%. The dissolution behavior of Cu and As in relation to the solution redox potential (Eh) was studied with and without activated carbon (AC) as a potential Eh-controlling catalyst. At this high pulp density, Eh was naturally suppressed, without a need for AC dosing, to
