Biohydrometallurgical Recycling of Metals from Industrial Wastes
About this book
Although many available metal recycling methods are simple and fast, they are also expensive and cause environmental pollution. Biohydrometallurgical processing of metals offers an alternative to overcome these issues, as the use of biological means not only helps to conserve dwindling ore resources but also fulfills the unambiguous need to extract metals in nonpolluting, low-energy, and low-cost way. This book covers biohydrometallurgy and its application in the recovery of metals from secondary sources like wastes. Fully updated for a new edition, it provides readers with a comprehensive overview of different wastes for metal recovery and biological treatment methods that are both environmentally friendly and economically viable.
- Offers a detailed explanation about generation of different metals containing industrial waste
- Explains traditional and new biological methods of recycling
- Reflects research advances across different industrial waste sources including electric vehicle batteries and LCDs from computers and other devices
- Focuses on each waste type and explores in detail the biohydrometallurgical recovery of metals from that waste
- Discusses fundamental microbial studies in bioleaching and updates about the use of emerging technologies and integrated techniques with different methods in combination for metal recovery
- Features a new chapter on techniques for metal extraction from bioleachate
This book serves as an essential resource for researchers and professional engineers working in chemical and environmental engineering and biotechnology.
