Microbial cooperation improves bioleaching recovery rates
Whilst bioleaching is primarily used to recover minerals from low-grade ores, the increasing demand for Rare Earth elements combined with supply chain concerns is opening up new avenues of extraction from mine tailings, waste products and recyclable materials. Exploration of new, novel and econ...

| description | Whilst bioleaching is primarily used to recover minerals
from low-grade ores, the increasing demand for Rare Earth
elements combined with supply chain concerns is opening
up new avenues of extraction from mine tailings, waste
products and recyclable materials. Exploration of new,
novel and economically viable techniques are required to
manage the coming shortage and volatility of global markets
with more environmentally sound alternatives to traditional
mining operations holding the key. |
