Reciklaža redkih kovin z uporabo biometalurgije

Friškovec, Izidor (author), Humar, Miha (mentor)

Diplomska naloga obravnava trenutne uporabe biometalurških postopkov, potencialne vire redkih kovin in mikrobne interakcije z njimi. Biometalurški postopki se izvajajo v bioizpiralnih kupih, odlagališčih in bioreaktorjih z uporabo mikroorganizmov, ki opravijo avtotrofno oksidacijo rudnin, s tem pa raztopijo kovine, vezane v minerale, zaradi česar jih mi lažje pridobimo. Večina biometalurških postopkov se izvaja za pridobivanje pogostejših kovin kot na primer bakra, vse večje povpraševanje po kovinah redkih zemelj, bi jih lahko preneslo tudi na pridobivanje le-teh. Kot vir redkih kovin bi v biometalurgiji lahko uporabili tudi odpadne vode, industrijske ostanke in odpadno elektroniko.

• Title: Recovery of critical metals using biometallurgy

Abstract

The thesis deals with the current applications of biometallurgy, potential sources of rare metals and the interactions microbes have with them. Biometallurgical processes are carried out in bioleaching heaps, dumps and in bioreactors with the use of microorganisms, which autotrophically oxidize minerals and simultaneusly dissolve the metals contained within them, making their exraction much easier. Most biometallurgical processes are used to extract more common metals such as copper, however the increasing demand for rare metals could expand those processes to include their recovery. Various sources such as wastewater, electronic and industrial waste could be used to recover rare metals using biometallurgy.
