Joint E3B Net/EBNet Metal Biorecovery and Bioremediation: 28-29 Nov 2019, Manchester

Prof Jonathan Lloyd introduces ‘Challenges and opportunities in metal bio-recovery

There are a number of cross-over areas between the two NIBBs, and the area of metals bio-remediation is one of them.

Manchester hosted some fascinating talks on this topic, including some on engineering cell vesicles for nanoparticle production; using phyto- remediation for metal recovery; deploying microbes to treat e-waste and mine tailings in South Africa; and recovering copper from whiskey lees.
