Efficiency of Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp. for bioleaching lithium cobalt oxide from battery wastes in potato dextrose broth and sucrose medium
Lithium-ion batteries, a primary power source, generate electronic hazardous waste at the end of their lifespan, which is a richer source of highly concentrated metals such as cobalt and lithium than those in natural resources. The waste is a potential renewable resource for the extraction of metals...

| description | Lithium-ion batteries, a primary power source, generate electronic hazardous waste at the end of their lifespan, which is a richer source of highly concentrated metals such as cobalt and lithium than those in natural resources. The waste is a potential renewable resource for the extraction of metals. Bioleaching, a process utilizing microbial activity, was used in this study to investigate the cobalt and lithium leaching efficiency from battery wastes. Two fungal strains, Aspergillus sp. strain JMET 15 and Penicillium sp. strain JMET 24 were used with different organic carbon sources (sucrose medium and potato dextrose broth) at 1 % pulp density. The sucrose medium derived a higher acid quantity and leached higher concentration of cobalt and lithium than in potato dextrose broth. Leaching efficiency by JMET 24 was higher than JMET 15. Cobalt (32.57 % and 27.19 %) and lithium (65.07 % and 40.58 %) were bioleached by JMET 24 and JMET 15, respectively, after 30 d cultivation in the sucrose medium. Lower pulp density was conducted to achieved higher leaching efficiency by JMET24, cobalt (77.87 % and 74.5 %) and lithium (99.88 % and 78.4 %) were bioleached at 0.1 % and 0.5 % pulp density, respectively. Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) was the product of the one-step recovery (leaching and precipitation) process. Cobalt was transformed from lithium cobalt oxide to cobalt phosphate-oxalate by JMET 24 in the sucrose medium. Thus, the potential of bioleaching as an effective method for recovering valuable metals from lithium-ion battery waste is demonstrated, presenting a promising approach for both waste management and resource recovery. |
