Industrial Views to Microbe-Metal Interactions in Sub-Arctic Conditions

Abstract:

This paper covers industrial views and challenges related to microbe-metal interactions in the sub-arctic conditions in Finland. The first issue is to operate bioleaching and bio-precipitation processes in cold and rainy environments where microbial activities tend to be low and solutions get diluted. On the other hand, industrial challenges in cold climates are related to the need to hinder the activity of microbe-metal interactions in certain applications, such as closed mines and nuclear waste repositories. Our case examples show the potential of industrial bioprocess utilization in cold climates, but also emphasize their special characteristics and challenges.
