The bioleaching of zinc, manganese, chromium, iron and copper from coal ash (fly and bottom) from coal ash pond using mixed culture of Acidithiobacillus albertensis and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans was studied. Using the Box- Behnken experimental design, there are three variable parameters used nam...
