Abstract

We present a survey devoted to the search and analysis of the scientific and technical literature and patent information on the use of biological methods for the extraction of valuable metals from the ash and slag wastes of thermal power plants and waste incineration plants operating on coals and shales. The physical and chemical properties of ash-and-slag wastes and their components are investigated. We also study specific features and problems of bioleaching of nonferrous and less-common (aluminum, vanadium, germanium, and gallium) metals and rare-earth elements from the ash-and-slag wastes.
