Description:

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 helps conserve dwindling ore resources while fulfilling the need to extract metals in a nonpolluting, low-energy, low-cost way. This fully updated new edition covers biohydrometallurgy and its application in the recovery of metals from secondary sources like industrial wastes.

The book offers a detailed explanation of the generation of different metal-containing industrial wastes, traditional and new biological recycling methods, and research advances across waste sources including electric vehicle batteries and LCDs. It discusses fundamental microbial studies in bioleaching, emerging technologies, and integrated recovery techniques, and features a new chapter on techniques for metal extraction from bioleachate.

Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Generation and Composition of Various Metal-Containing Industrial Wastes. 3. Conventional Metal Recycling Techniques. 4. Recycling of Electronic Waste. 5. Recycling of Energy Storage Wastes. 6. Recycling of Metal Production Wastes. 7. Emerging Recycling of Solar Electricity Waste. 8. Recycling of Thermal Power Generation Wastes. 9. Techniques for Metal Extraction from Bioleachate.
