This review explores the potential of closed-loop bioleaching as a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for metal recovery, focusing on end-of-life mobile phones. The process is structured into four interconnected stages: (1) bioproduction of the leaching agent, leveraging microorganisms such as <em>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</em> to oxidize Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺; (2) pre-treatment of e-waste, which employs mechanical processes to optimize materials for leaching; (3) leaching, where Fe³⁺ solubilizes valuable metals from pre-treated e-waste; and (4) metal recovery, using methods such as solvent extraction, ion exchange, and electrodeposition. This review examined the critical parameters that influence these stages, including culture medium composition, pH, aeration rates, and the heterogeneous nature of e-waste. Compared to traditional pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical approaches, bioleaching offers advantages such as reduced energy consumption and a lower environmental impact. However, challenges remain such as improving the reaction kinetics, mitigating the inhibitory effects of metal accumulation, and scaling up the process for industrial applications. Therefore, this study identifies the key priorities for advancing closed-loop bioleaching: optimizing bioprocess efficiency, integrating automation and real-time monitoring systems, and addressing regulatory and economic barriers to large-scale implementation.

The DNC ensures that in the case of any nucleation (the target enantiomer or the distomer), the newly formed crystals are dissolved, and the solids’ enantiopurity and size distribution integrity are preserved. In this context, a routinely used in-line tool, e.g., imaging or laser back-scattering-based, can help to control the deracemization in an inferential way that would be difficult to monitor directly. The simulation studies performed based on population balance-based modeling indicated the feasibility of the approach, and the thorough parametric study revealed that there is a correlation between the DNC settings and kinetic properties of the crystallization and the racemization. A SHAP interpretation of an extreme gradient boosting-based classifier allowed us to draw practical conclusions about the desired DNC operation, including working in a high-temperature range, minimizing the stirring rate, and using broader DNC count ranges.
