AQA C1 - Phytomining and Bioleachingwww.revistavirtualpro.comrvirtualproCanal Yer Saum
This technique consists of two major pathways, namely, bioleaching and biosorption. Biological leaching uses specific microorganisms, fungi, bacteria, algae, or their metabolites to interact with NMs through microbial and metal oxidation–reduction reactions. This method is promising due to its simplicity...
Consequently, attention has shifted to emerging bioleaching and phytomining technologies as alternative selective recovery methods that adhere to sustainability criteria without excessive capital investment. Nevertheless, knowledge of these recovery mechanisms remains limited, and their application faces challenges ...
