Article Synopsis
- Phytomining is an innovative green technology aimed at extracting precious metals from low-grade mine tailings using bio-based catalysts.
- The study focused on a ruthenium (Ru) catalyst developed from cassava roots, which were enriched with Ru through a specialized growing process.
- Characterization techniques confirmed that the catalyst had a well-structured matrix that improved its performance, achieving 100% conversion of furfural to furfural alcohol under optimal conditions, with impressive stability over multiple uses.
