Copper from Waste Printed Circuit Boards Was Effectively Bioleached Using Newly Isolated Microorganisms and Subsequently Recovered by Microbial Fuel Cell

Two newly isolated bacterial strains were from activated sludge and identified as Coniochaeta fodinicola (C. fodinicola) Talaromyces barcinensis (T. barcinensis) by 16S rDNA. C. T. used to bioleach the copper waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) powder, which was obtained crushing sorting board substrate after removing components. Results showed that minimum maximum Cu2+ leaching rates for 3.9% 89.2%, respectively. The 20.6% 89.0%, bioleaching solution cathode liquid of a dual chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC), an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern displayed in reduced using biological electricity generation.
