This project aims to establish breakthrough technology for neutralising bauxite refinery wastes by creating new knowledge about the taxonomic composition and molecular metabolism of sulphur oxidising bacteria capable of oxidising low-cost element sulphur in extremely haloalkaline niches. The findings will be translated into field feasible ecological engineering technology in partnership with industry partners. This DECRA project will also contribute to the net zero waste strategy in Australia and could significantly contribute to global problems of mining waste, carbon emission, and soil depletion if implemented. The commercialisation of the technology package will increase economic advantages and employment in Australia.

该项目旨在通过创造关于硫氧化细菌的分类组成和分子代谢的新知识，建立用于中和铝土矿精炼厂废物的突破性技术，该细菌能够在极端盐碱环境中氧化低成本元素硫。研究结果将与行业合作伙伴一起转化为实地可行的生态工程技术。该DECRA项目还将有助于澳大利亚的净零废物战略，如果实施，将大大有助于解决采矿废物，碳排放和土壤枯竭的全球问题。该技术包的商业化将增加澳大利亚的经济优势和就业机会。
