Alternative Bioleaching process of metals from secondary resources (industrial wastes)

Summary:

A Belgian Research Centre developed (stage of development: technology validated in lab TRL 4) a microbial assisted leaching process designed for metal recovery from secondary resources. The technology is based on a new process integrating bacterial cell encapsulation for a higher resistance to dissolved organics and heavy metals. The research center looks for companies and universities to develop European projects and further applications in other sectors (other residues).
