Reagent-free flow-injection amperometric sensor for quantification and speciation of iron for bio-hydrometallurgical applications

Iron ions are monitored in processes such as bio-leaching, bio-oxidation, ferric leaching, passivation control, and others. The role of iron in different hydrometallurgy processes is very important because it affects strongly several industrial ore production, as chalcopyrite cooper extraction. In t...
