In the metal industry, production of Cu, Pb, and Zn causes the greatest degradation of the environment. Copper mining produces extensive mine wastes and tailings and Cu smelting emits approximately 0.11 Mg of S per Mg of Cu produced in the USA. Zinc and Pb smelters release large quantities of Cd and Pb into the environment.

The 3 most common commercial biomining processes are: 1. Slope Leaching. Fine ore is kept in a large, slope-shaped dump. During slope leaching, a water solution made of inoculum is continuously sprayed over the ore. After that, the leach liquor (or remaining liquid) is gathered at the bottom and processed for supplemental metal recovery. 2.
