Global electronification has driven an unprecedented surge in electronic and electrical waste (e-waste), with approximately 75 % of this e-waste informally managed, releasing hazardous chemicals. Traditional association analyses have limited ability ...
Biocatalysts like enzymes have proven to be faster and efficient in metal bioleaching from printed circuit boards (PCBs) than microbe-mediated bioleaching. However, studies on enzymatic metal bioleaching from PCBs are mainly confined to the shake-fla...
