| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Along with the recent growth of demand for chalcogenide (selenide, telluride) semiconductors, which is used as solar cells, etc., establishment of resource recycling pathway for chalcogenide semconductors are becoming a pressing issue. In this project, a series of studies aiming the development of a chalcogen recycle process utilizing Pseudomonas stutzeri NT-I, an active chalcogen-metabolizing bacterium, was conducted. By applying neutralization and NT-I cultivation, successful recovery of selenium from simulated CIGS solar cell extract was achieved. Cultivation of strain NT-I in a bioreactor equipped with exhaust gas trap revealed that strain NT-I has highest tellurium volatilization activity among bacteria previously reported.
