Summary: Through IR spectroscopy and DFT calculations, it has been discovered that in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, Mn promotes a silica-supported Co catalyst with a MnO layer covering the Co surface, activating adsorbed CO through reaction with an oxygen vacancy. This results in higher activity, higher CHx coverage, increased C5+ selectivity, and decreased CH4 selectivity. Increasing pressure amplifies the selectivity differences. However, above around 4 bar, the addition of Mn decreases C5+ selectivity, possibly due to its promotion of C-O bond dissociation but not chain growth. Migration of formed monomers for chain growth on the Co surface may be hindered by high CO coverage, especially at high pressure.

Summary: Large scale recycling of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for obtaining raw materials and implementing clean energy strategies. However, efficient and sustainable recycling methods for LIBs are yet to be developed. This study demonstrates a sequential process using two bacterial species to recover manganese, cobalt, and nickel, while keeping lithium in the leachate. The feasibility of manganese recovery from polymetallic solutions was also shown in a 30 L bioreactor. Additionally, proteomic analysis was used to investigate the selectivity between cobalt and nickel, confirming the potential of a bio-based method for separating these metals.

Summary: A new process is proposed for efficiently and eco-friendly recycling of valuable metals from cobalt-rich crust. Carbon is found to promote the decomposition of manganite in the cobalt-rich crust during the acid baking process, leading to an increased leaching ratio of Mn. The promotion effect of carbon on Co is stronger at low sulfuric acid consumption.
