Biohydrometallurgy of Rare Earth Ores offers an in-depth exploration of innovative bioleaching techniques for the extraction of rare earth elements that is critical for various high-tech applications. The book begins with foundational concepts in bioleaching, explaining how microorganisms and their metabolites can facilitate the extraction of REEs from ores. Further sections examine different biological approaches, including the use of native and genetically improved microorganisms, and highlight the role of coordination chemistry in enhancing leaching processes. The text also delves into comparative analyses of chemical versus bioleaching methods, emphasizing the advantages of biological techniques in terms of efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Additionally, the book addresses the environmental impacts of bioleaching practices, providing a holistic view of the sustainability of these methods while also detailing the recovery processes of REEs from bioleaching solutions and exploring various methods such as inorganic and organic precipitation, biosorption, and the utilization of waste-derived metabolites. It will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals interested in the sustainable extraction of rare earth elements.
