Bioleaching of lithium from jadarite, spodumene and lepidolite using Acidiothiobacillus ferrooxidans

Raw data collected on the characterisation of Li bearing minerals jadarite, spodumene, and lepidolite through ICP-OES, ferrozine assay and X Ray Diffraction. Raw results for bioleaching and sulfuric acid leaching of Li from these minerals by Acidiothiobacillus ferrooxidans, measured over 30 days through ICP-OES analysis.
