Solvent Extraction and Bioremediation for Copper Recovery from Extreme Acid Mine Drainage

This video shows the combination of solvent extraction and bioremediation for copper recovery from extreme acid mine drainage, carried out by the ECOREACH group at CCMAR.
This work was funded by the Portuguese Foundation dor Science and Technology (FCT), through the projects UIBD/04326/2020 and UIDB/00100/2020; and (2) national funds from FCT co-financed by the Algarve's Regional Operational Program (CRESC Algarve 2020) through Portugal 2020 and European Regional Development Fund (FEDER), under the project METALCHEMBIO (no. 29251).
