Pregnant leach solutions (PLS) resulting from bioleaching of copper concentrate from Kupferschiefer are characterized by low pH values and high concentrations of mainly ferric iron, copper, zinc and sulfate, as well as significant amounts of nickel and cobalt. In order to recover the valuable metals for further processing, a novel technique that promotes selective metal recovery and sulfate removal from acidic liquors, described in this study, is proposed.
