Microbial contact enhances bioleaching of rare earth elements

The mobility of rare earth elements (REEs) in monazite depends on microbial activity, attachment of bacteria on the mineral surface, phase association of the REEs, and which physiochemical and biological processes these phases are subjected to. To better understand the role of the phosphate solubili...
