Abstract: Modern industrial development trends are largely focused on the rational use of resources, eco-nomic profitability and environmental friendliness of production. At the junction of various sciences and disci-plines, new directions are born, giving the opportunity to get closer to the modern idea of production in practice. One of these areas has originated as a synthesis of microbiology and geology and today it is called biogeotech-nology. This paper briefly overviews theoretical basics of bacterial methods of valuable components extraction from mineral and industrial wastes. Considering the data obtained by domestic and foreign researchers, as an example of possible application of microbiological methods of mineral processing the bacterial way was sug-gested to exclude sulfur from the co-product of sulfuric-acid industry — pyrite cinder, and iron ore crude mate-rials in order to obtain pigments for qualitative stains for metal surfaces.

Key words: biogeotechnology bacterial methods of mineral processing bioleaching biohydrometallurgy py-rite pyrite cinder red iron oxide pigment
