The invention relates to a method for preparing a high-concentration biological deodorant. The method uses natural plants and extracts thereof with deodorizing function, a carbon source, a nitrogen source, trace elements and the like as raw materials, screens special beneficial microbial strains, and ferments the strains to obtain the high-concentration deodorant containing active components of the plants, beneficial microbe and metabolic products by adopting modern bioengineering technology. After being diluted by clear water which is 2,000 times of the deodorant, the deodorant is directly sprayed; and by decomposing smelly substances such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, trimethylamine and the like, the growth of harmful microbe generating bad smell in rubbish and smell sources is suppressed so as to achieve the purposes of removing bad smell, repelling flies and reducing disease spreading risk.

A process for leaching a value metal from a base metal sulfide ore, comprising the step of leaching the ore with a lixiviant comprising a chloride, an oxidant and hydrochloric acid is disclosed. The leaching is controlled, by use of low concentrations of hydrochloric acid and a redox potential, to effect formation of hydrogen sulfide from the base metal sulfide ore.

The solids residue may be subsequently leached to recover the platinum group metals and gold. The value metal-rich leachate can be is oxidized and neutralized to recover the value base metals. In an embodiment, the chloride is magnesium chloride and lixiviant solution is regenerated.
