Article Synopsis
- * E-waste recycling is crucial due to the environmental and health risks posed by heavy metals and pollutants, and heterotrophic microbes offer potential solutions for eco-friendly metal recovery through their natural metal-binding biomolecules.
- * The review discusses current challenges in using organic acid and biocyanide leaching for metal recovery, as well as innovative methods and emerging technologies that can improve the efficiency and impact of these biological approaches.
The issue of recycling waste solar cells is critical with regard to the expanded use of these cells, which increases waste production. Technology establishment for this recycling process is essential with respect to the valuable and hazardous metals present therein. In the present study, the leaching potentials of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Penicillium chrysogenum, and Penicillium simplicissimum were assessed for the recovery of metals from spent solar cells, with a focus on retrieval of the valuable metal Te.
