Sumario:The behaviour of glass beads, silicagel and activated carbon particles as bacteria supports for using in backed bed bioreactor has been compared. No important difference was found. Additionally the performance of a bioreactor with glass beads was compared with that of a conventional percolating column in the bioleaching of a copper sulphide ore. Results showed higher copper extraction using the bioreactor.
