Recovery of rare earth elements from luminophores using the red alga Galdieria
Čížková M., Bišová K., Zachleder V., Mezricky D., Rucki M., (Corresponding) Vítová M.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
The red alga Galdieria phlegrea was used as an experimental organism to test bioaccumulation of rare earth elements (REEs) from luminophores. Algal cells were cultured mixotrophically in a liquid medium with addition of glycerol as a source of carbon. Luminophores from two different sources (...Read more

Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Rare earth elements (e.g., neodymium, dysprosium and praseodymium) have contributed to the miniaturization, energy efficiency, durability, and high speed of many technology gadgets. Due to their electric conductivity, magnetic, luminescence and optical properties, rare earth elements (REE) are...Read more
