Bio-accelerated weathering of ultramafic minerals with Gluconobacter oxydans

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: April 30, 2025

Ultramafic rocks are an abundant source of cations for CO2 mineralization (e.g., Mg) and elements sustainability technologies Ni, Cr, Mn, Co, Al). However, there is no industrially useful process dissolving ultramafic materials to release sequestration or mining them energy-critical elements. Weathering by rainwater, metal cations, subsequent already naturally sequesters from the atmosphere, but this natural will take thousands hundreds years remove excess anthropogenic CO2, far too late deal with global warming that happen over next century. Mechanical acceleration weathering grinding can accelerate cation prohibitively expensive. In article we show gluconic acid-based lixiviants produced mineral-dissolving microbe Gluconobacter oxydans leaching Mg2+ 20× deionized water, Mg, Fe, Ni further improves 73% 24 96 h. At low pulp density (1%) G. biolixiviant only 6% more effective than acid. But, at 60% 3.2× just We demonstrate biolixiviants made cellulosic hydrolysate not significantly worse glucose, dramatically improving feedstock available bioleaching. Finally, reduce number carbon atoms in glucose hydrolysate) needed one ion mineralize atom 525 1.

Holistic prospective life cycle analysis of a proposed copper and nickel mine in Minnesota

Published: Aug. 16, 2024

Decarbonization technologies promise to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, these contain critical minerals, such as nickel, lithium, cobalt. Minerals mining can have substantial environmental social impacts. Prospective LCA be used project impacts compare them among proposed mines, especially in nations like the U.S. that aim increase domestic minerals production. We therefore conducted a cradle-to-grave on copper-nickel mine United States. Flotation processing was largest contributor energy, water, burdens. Wastewater treatment closure also sizeable energy water demands. estimate it takes decades or centuries restore carbon stock loss from land clearing reclamation efforts. This analysis highlights importance of often-neglected elements mine’s life cycle clearing, wastewater treatment, reclamation, closure.

Review on the Challenges of Magnesium Removal in Nickel Sulfide Ore Flotation and Advances in Serpentinite Depressor

Minerals, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(10), P. 965 - 965

Published: Sept. 25, 2024

Nickel is an important raw metal material in industry, which has been identified as a strategic mineral resource by the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources. sulfide ore accounts for 40% all nickel ores worldwide. However, magnesium silicate gangue minerals ores, particularly serpentine, pose significant challenges to flotation ores. The presence leads series issues, including increased energy consumption subsequent smelting processes, accelerated equipment wastage, SO2 emissions, severely impact comprehensive utilization resources In this regard, depressants are most direct effective method reduce adverse influences caused concentrate. Based on characteristics typical magnesium-containing ore, review illustrates difficulties depression during gives overview common from six aspects (chelation depressants, dispersion flocculation grinding, slurry adjustment combination depressants). Each section summarizes relevant mechanisms analyzes advantages disadvantages various reagents, providing reference designing specifically targeting serpentine.

Triumphing Over Adversity: Navigating Climate Change, Covid-19, and Conflict for Sustainable Development in the Post-Globalization Era

Journal of Ecohumanism, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 3(2), P. 251 - 264

Published: Feb. 28, 2024

This research examines the role of addressing global humanitarian issues in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by States at UN Conference 2012. The SDGs aim to tackle key challenges related sustainable development, covering environmental, social, and economic dimensions. However, a balance between environmental protection, growth, social inclusion is complex task requiring continuous efforts commitment. Through socio-legal approach, this study identifies three as obstacles SDGs: climate change, ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts States, specifically Russo-Ukrainian War. Addressing change crucial it poses significant threats environment human life. pandemic exacerbates existing challenges, impacting health systems, economies, well-being. State disrupt peace stability, impeding progress towards development goals. Overcoming these necessitates international cooperation, policy reforms, effective governance, prioritizing sustainability, resilience, inclusiveness. By issues, we can enhance likelihood building more equitable future for all.
