Abstract
This paper describes a new recycling method, based upon biotechnology, in order to extract platinum group metals (PGMs) from post-consumer products. The metal ion-reducing bacterium Shewanella algae was found to exhibit the ability to reduce and deposit PGMs. An integrated bioprocess using Shewanella bacteria to selectively recover Pd, Pt, and Rh from aqua regia leachates of spent automotive catalysts is demonstrated.
