Shymkent is one of the largest industrial cities of Kazakhstan with a lot of industrial wastes. These include lead-zinc slag, which has a strong anthropogenic stress on the environment. On the other hand, there is a large number of components concentrated in the waste. The possibility of using different groups of microorganisms for the recovery of valuable metals from a variety fraction of lead-zinc waste was investigated. It is found that the bioleaching of zinc-lead wastes of valuable components depends not only on the species of microorganisms, but also on the fractional composition of the waste.
Keywords: Zinc-lead slags, Bioleaching, Fractional composition
