Abstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pollution caused in soil and surface and groundwater by waste from mining activities is among the main environmental concerns at the Spanish, European and global levels. Between the different types of mining, metal mining is especially worrisome due to the dispersion of toxic metals such as Pb, Cd, Zn, As, Cu, etc. and the generation, from the oxidation of the pyrite waste, of the so-called acidic mine drainage (AMD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project, named as 'Coupling of new biological and electrochemical technologies for the recovery of resources from metal mine wastes', proposes an innovative and sustainable approach to the solution of the environmental problem caused by mining waste. Its objective is the development of new combinations of biological and electrochemical technologies for the treatment of mine tailings (fine-grained mine waste) and AMD. This study does not only aim to decrease the hazards derived from waste but also the recovery of the resources contained therein, including metals and\/or rare earth elements, reclaimed water, biomass and\/or energy; that is, in line with the circular economy concept. The research will include the following technologies: (i)\nelectro-bioleaching and electrokinetic-assisted phytoremediation for the treatment of mine tailings; and (ii) bioelectrochemical systems and constructed wetlands coupled to microbial fuel cells for AMD and the effluent from the electro-bioleaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation within the call Society Chellenges 2019 (PID2019-107282RB-I00). The time period of the project is June 2020 - May 2023. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Work packages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

E-BIORE2MIN Project includes five Work Packages (WP), two of which correspond to the scientific and economical management of the project (WP1) and the management of the new scientific knowledge produced (WP2).WP1<\/em>) y a la gesti\u00f3n y difusi\u00f3n del conocimiento cient\u00edfico generado (WP2<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third Work Package (WP3<\/em>) deals with the experimental study of electrokinetic-assisted phytoremediation (EKPR<\/em>) and the electro-bioleaching (EKBL<\/em>) applied to mine tailings. The objectives are, on one hand, the treatment of tailings in order to avoid the spreading of metals and therefore decreasing the environmental risk and, on the other hand, the recovery of metals and other resources from them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fourth Work Package (WP4<\/em>) deals with the experimental study whose target is the treatment of the aqueous liquid currents from mining sites (raw AMD and the electro-bioleaching effluent from mine tailings) in order to recover resources, that is, metals and water reclamation. The treatments include the bioelectrochemical systems (BES) <\/em>for the electrodeposition of metals on the cathode of the electrochemical cells, along with constructed wetlands working as microbial fuel cells (CW-MFC)<\/em>, for reclamation of water and power generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, the fifth Work Package (WP5<\/em>) is the final step of the project and its main objective is to carry out an integral demonstrative treatment considering a complex real matrix under field conditions. It means working with real raw AMD in the case of both BES and CW-MFC technologies and the scaling-up of the techniques applied to mine tailings. Thus, this WP is mainly intended to study the feasibility of the technologies in more realistic conditions and, therefore, the future transfer of the technology. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>
