Description
Summary:The progression of green technologies has driven higher future demands for valuable metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, hence necessitating the recycling of lithium-containing energy storage systems. Restrategizing conventional metal recycling technologies with sustainable biological approaches can explore the potential to curtail expensive process costs and emissions of hazardous by-products. This article advocates the benefits and persuasion for future studies and applications to exploit current concepts of microbial-based metal recycling technologies as environmentally cleaner options.
