Metals such as the rare-earth elements (REEs) and lithium are inherent to the advance of environmentally sustainable technologies through the exploitation of their properties in, for example wind-turbine magnets, electrically powered vehicles, flat-screen displays, and batteries. This necessity and increasing use has impacted upon the supply of these critical elements and the environmental consequences of their recovery and recycling. In this project, we will: assess bioleaching approaches to provide selective dissolution of the REEs from their ores;

稀土元素(REE)和锂等金属是环境可持续技术进步所固有的，可以通过开发它们在风力涡轮机磁铁、电动汽车、平板显示器和电池等方面的特性来实现。这种必要性和日益增加的使用量对这些关键元素的供应及其回收和再循环的环境后果产生了影响。在这个项目中，我们将：评估生物浸出方法，以提供从矿石中选择性溶解稀土的方法；
