“…A possible commercial biotechnological application of acidophiles adapted to high levels of cadmium is for the solubilization of nickel and cadmium from batteries by At. ferrooxidans (Cerruti et al, 1998). Cd(II) is toxic to micro-organisms through a variety of mechanisms, including binding to thiol groups, protein denaturation, and interaction with calcium and zinc metabolism.…”

Growth in sulfidic mineral environments: metal resistance mechanisms in acidophilic micro-organisms

et al. 2003

Acidophilic micro-organisms inhabit some of the most metal-rich environments known, including both natural and man-made ecosystems, and as such are ideal model systems for study of microbial metal resistance. Although metal resistance systems have been studied in neutrophilic micro-organisms, it is only in recent years that attention has been placed on metal resistance in acidophiles. The five metal resistance mechanisms identified in neutrophiles are also present in acidophiles, in some cases utilizing homologous proteins, but in many cases the degree of resistance is greater in acidophiles. This review summarizes the knowledge of acidophile metal resistance and presents preliminary in silico studies on a few known metal resistance systems in the sequenced acidophile genomes.

“…The solubility of cadmium hydroxide is higher than nickel hydroxide. [8,9] In continuation to this study, Zhao et al (2008a) compared the effect of ferrous sulphate and elemental sulfur for bioleaching of metals from Ni-Cd batteries. [10]They used a continuous flow two-step leaching system comprising of an acidifying reactor and a leaching reactor.…”

“…[7] In a pioneering study, Cerruti et al (1998) used T. ferrooxidansculture to dissolve the nickel-cadmium batteries and to neutralize its electrolyte using sculpture as an energy source. [8]Both direct and indirect leaching mechanisms were considered to study the bioleaching process. Shake flasks experiments with previously adapted T. ferrooxidans were carried out to study the direct mechanism.…”

The use of electrical devices has been increased tremendously around the world. Portable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries have been used in electronic products for many decades and have resulted in the generation of huge amounts of waste batteries. The battery disposal in municipal solid waste has become a serious problem for many countries. A battery can be considered as a recyclable material due to its high metal content and cannot be dumped directly in landfills, both for environmental and economic reasons. Amongst the metals present in Ni-Cd batteries, Cd is a toxic heavy metal harmful to both humans and environment. However, Ni and Co are valuable metals as a result of a decrease in their reserves and consequent increase in trading prices. Their disposal not only causes the loss of valuable metals but also demands the expenses for new material. Consequently, these spent batteries can be used as a secondary source for metals. The recycling of spent batteries is a growing industry. This review assesses the biohydrometallurgical process for recovery of metals from spent Ni-Cd batteries.
