Title:
BIOLOGICAL SORBENT REAGENT AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING METALS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/042238
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Provided herein are a biological sorbent reagent for extracting a metal from a solution comprising the metal, comprising one or more of a Mucoromycota fungus and a prepared or processed biomass of the Mucoromycota fungus, a biological sorbent reagent for extracting a metal from a solution comprising the metal, comprising one or more of a fungus and a biomass produced by the fungus, wherein the biomass is hydrophilic and has a point of zero charge (pHPZC) corresponding to the pH of the solution comprising the metal, and a method for extracting a metal from a solution comprising the metal, comprising contacting the solution comprising the metal with a filter comprising the biological sorbent reagent of the present invention.
