| Abstract: | Yeast-based biomass, immobilised in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cryogels, was used as a biosorbant material for the recovery of
platinum (PtCl62−) from aqueous solutions. The resulting biomass-Pt matrices were then employed directly as an electro-catalytic anode in a
fuel cell configuration to generate electrical energy from renewable sources such as glucose and ethanol. We suggest an integrated
strategy incorporating the derivation of a high-value product from a bioremediative process with a view towards producing
energy from renewable fuels such as glucose and ethanol. |
