This project aims to develop a sustainable method for recovering metals from electronic waste using magnetotactic bacteria. By optimizing bioreactor designs for bacterial growth, it seeks to address environmental challenges associated with e-waste and promote circular economy principles.
Annually, the world generates over 62 million tonnes of electronic waste (e-waste), which contains metals (e.g. lead, mercury, cadmium), which, if not properly managed, can leach into the environment, contaminating soil, water, and air.
This situation poses a significant risk to human health and ecosystems, necessitating innovative recycling measures.
So far, hydrometallurgical processes for metal recovery have made strides in addressing these issues.
However, challenges such as their sustainabi…
