| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to eventually recover valuable metals from urban mine leachete, this study investigated the utility of extremely acidophilic Fe(III)-reducing bacteria mainly for Pd(II) reduction to produce Pd(0) nanoparticles, and also for V(V) reduction to recover V precipitates. Pd(0) nanoparticles were effectively produced by combination of biological Pd(0) nucleation step and chemical crystal growth step. Using active cells together with sodium formate as electron donor was critical to produce well-distributed, smaller-sized Pd(0) nanoparticles on cell surface. Soluble V(V) was also successfully recovered even under acidic pHs as V(IV)-precipitates mainly on the cell surface. A part of V was recovered intracellularly as nanoparticles.
