Bioleaching of metal sulfides is performed by diverse microorganisms. The dissolution of
metal sulfides occurs via two chemical pathways, either the thiosulfate or the polysulfide …

Biomining with acidophilic microorganisms has been used at commercial scale for the
extraction of metals from various sulfide ores. With metal demand and energy prices on the …

Thermoacidophilic archaea belonging to the order Sulfolobales thrive in extreme biotopes,
such as sulfuric hot springs and ore deposits. These microorganisms have been model …

This work focuses on constructing a bio-electro-hydrometallurgical platform to efficiently
recover cobalt (Co), lithium (Li), and manganese (Mn) from the cathode active materials …

Although the development of resistance by microorganisms to antimicrobial drugs has been
recognized as a global public health concern, the contribution of various non-antibiotic …

With declining ore grades and increasing waste volumes, lithium-ion battery (LIB) wastes
are increasingly considered valuable for urban mining for metal recovery and re-use. In …

Mining activities have been carried out for thousands of years and nowadays have an
enormous worldwide use to obtain important metals of industrial use. These include copper …

Elevated temperatures favor bioleaching processes through faster kinetics, more favorable
mineral chemistry, lower cooling requirements, and less surface passivation. Extremely …

Bioleaching microorganisms inhabit extremely acidic environments (pH< 3.0) and can be
used in the biohydrometallurgical industry. They employ several strategies, such as biofilms …
