BIOFLOTATION STUDY OF COMPLEX GALENA-SPHALERITE ORE FROM BOGOR, WEST JAVA USING CITROBACTER YOUNGAE STRAIN SKC-4 BACTERIA

Lead (Pb) dan Zinc (Zn) are the two most used non-ferrous metals in daily basis, after aluminum and copper. Increased demand for base metals such as Pb and Zn worldwide leads to an increase in the exploitation of low-grade ores due to highgrade ores shortage. As an alternative to increasing the valu...
