Biohydrometallurgy offers several benefits over conventional extraction methods:
Environmental Sustainability: It minimizes the use of toxic chemicals and reduces the environmental footprint, making it a greener alternative to traditional techniques. Cost-Effectiveness: The process is generally more economical, particularly for low-grade ores that are not viable for conventional mining technologies. Energy Efficiency: Lower energy requirements make biohydrometallurgy an attractive option, reducing overall operational costs.
