Prokaryotic communities in the historic silver mine Reiche Zeche

Goetz Haferburg et al.

Summary: The Reiche Zeche mine in Freiberg, Germany is known for its rich history of silver production and is now a famous research and education facility. The mine, established in the late 14th century, became part of the Bergakademie Freiberg in 1919. The mine contains various minerals such as galena, pyrite, sphalerite, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite. The acidic mine drainage in the mine has led to the development of microbial communities with low pH and high metal concentrations. The study investigated the community composition of these microbial habitats and found a diverse range of bacterial phyla, including iron-oxidizing bacteria. Overall, the presence of iron-oxidizing bacteria plays a crucial role in the investigated habitats.

Recovery of rare earth elements from waste streams using membrane processes: An overview

Elkhansa Elbashier et al.

Summary: Recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) is essential due to their high costs, limited availability, toxicity, and negative environmental impacts. Membrane processes offer higher selectivity, lower energy requirements, and the potential for zero liquid discharge compared to conventional methods. However, the economic feasibility of using membrane techniques for REE recovery still needs to be thoroughly evaluated.
