PhD Studentship in Precious Metal Bioleaching from E-wastes by Staggered Processing Design  [March 6, 2023]

Location: Lancaster, England, UK

It has been reported that the UK was the Europe’s second highest generator of electrical waste per person in 2019 according to the Global E-waste Monitor, while the present status of metal derivative industries in the UK is subject to risks associated with import supply. Forecasts are encouraging to anticipate strategies to meet future increasing demands since precious metals are indispensable materials for the emerging technologies and the zero-carbon objectives by 2050. This project aims to operate cost-effectively a proof-of-concept bioleaching reactor process, for recovery of precious metals from electrical wastes (E-wastes).
