Abstract: This paper describes the impact of adding pyrite and ferrous sulfate on the recovery of Cu and Zn in the bioleaching process of treating the polymetallic raw materials. For a period of 20 days, at temperature of 300C, phase ratio S:L=1:5 and pH=2 with bacterial culture At. Ferrooxidans and At. Thiooxidans, higher Cu leaching was achieved with addition of pyrite compared to the addition of ferrous sulfate, and significantly lower leaching of Zn for both cases of addition pyrite and ferrous sulfate.
