title: Mathematical model for microbial oxidation of pure lead sulfide by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
abstract: A shrinking-core mathematical model describing bioleaching of lead sulfide is developed considering the deposition of insoluble bio-oxidation products on metal sulfide particle surfaces. Variations in particle size are considered as it affects diffusion limitations.
