Better Understand the Connection between Microbiology and the
Inorganic World Microbiology for Minerals, Metals, Materials and
the Environment links chemical, metallurgical, and other metal
inherent systems with microbes, and analyzes the interdependence
between them. Specifically intended to underscore the importance of
microbes in environmental remediation in the mining industries,
this text offers a basic and conceptual understanding of the role
of microbes, and provides an extensive exploration of microbiology
and metals. Each chapter is written by experts from research,
industry and academia. The authors expand on the whole scale of
microbiology applications relevant to minerals, metal, material,
and environment. They elicit the applications of microbes for metal
extraction (including mechanisms and methods) from primary
ores/minerals and mining wastes, biomining and related concepts of
microbial diversity and various operations, and molecular biology
of microbes involved in such systems (extremophiles). They also
address in detail biohydrometallurgy, biomineralisation,
bioleaching, biobeneficiation, biosynthesis, and bioremediation and
other related areas. This book: Includes bacterial leaching, hybrid
leaching, and biosynthesis related to different metals Covers
recent developments in alternative procedures with the use of
extremophiles and leaching bacteria Explains the imperative
importance of bacteria in minerals and metals sector Addresses
microbial interventions for waste cleanup and upgradation of
minerals Compares existing processes with the new ones to elicit
their importance Provides case studies on all respective topics by
eminent researchers A resource for researchers, graduate students,
and industry professionals involved in
chemical/mining/metallurgical engineering/environmental
science/microbiology, Microbiology for Minerals, Metals, Materials
and the Environment skillfully explains the symbiotic relationship
between microbiology and minerals-metals-materials, and utilizes
experts from across the globe.
