Biohydrometallurgy is an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to metal extraction that utilizes biological organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, to facilitate the recovery of metals from ores and other materials. This process leverages the natural metabolic activities of these microorganisms, which can mobilize metals from minerals or concentrate them from low-grade ores through mechanisms such as bioleaching and biomining.
