Biomining using microalgae to recover rare earth elements (REEs) from bauxite.
Biomining using microalgae has emerged as a sustainable option to extract rare earth elements (REEs). This study aims to (i) explore the capability of REEs recovery from bauxite by microalgae, (ii) assess the change of biochemical function affected by bauxite, and (iii) investigate the effects of operating conditions (i.e., aeration rate, pH, hydraulic retention time) to REEs recovery. The results showed that increasing bauxite in microalgae culture increases REEs recovery in biomass and production of biochemical compounds (e.g., pigments and Ca-Mg ATPase enzyme) up to 10 %. The optimum pulp ratio of bauxite in the microalgae culture ranges from 0.2 % to 0.6 %. Chlorella vulgaris was the most promising, with two times higher in REEs recovery in biomass than the other species. REEs accumulated in microalgae biomass decreased with increasing pH in the culture. This study establishes a platform to make the scaling up of REEs biomining by microalgae plausible.
期刊介绍:
Bioresource Technology publishes original articles, review articles, case studies, and short communications covering the fundamentals, applications, and management of bioresource technology. The journal seeks to advance and disseminate knowledge across various areas related to biomass, biological waste treatment, bioenergy, biotransformations, bioresource systems analysis, and associated conversion or production technologies.
Topics include:
• Biofuels: liquid and gaseous biofuels production, modeling and economics
• Bioprocesses and bioproducts: biocatalysis and fermentations
• Biomass and feedstocks utilization: bioconversion of agro-industrial residues
• Environmental protection: biological waste treatment
• Thermochemical conversion of biomass: combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, catalysis.
