The 11^th International Symposium on Biomining (Biomining ’23) was held at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth, UK. It was organized by Minerals Engineering International (MEI) in consultation with Prof. Sue Harrison and Dr Chris Bryan.

This conference focused on the latest developments in the field of biohydrometallurgy and bioprocessing: the development, optimisation and application of integrated biomining process operations for mineral ores, including low grade and complex ores; the microbiology of biomining and the application of biohydrometallurgy, bioflotation and other technologies to novel resources (such as mine and electronic wastes) and the (bio)remediation of mining-impacted environments.

Lalropuia Lalropuia and Anna Sieber from K1-MET GmbH and Klemens Kremser from BOKU introduced the FuLIBatteR project with the following presentations:

• K. Kremser: “Future lithium-ion battery recycling for recovery of critical raw materials”
• L. Lalropuia: “Enrichment and adaptation of bioleaching consortia for recovery of critical metals from spent lithium-ion batteries”
• A. Sieber: “The application of spent brewer’s yeast as selective biosorbent for metal recovery from polymetallic waste streams”
