Biohydrometallurgy is a technique in the world of metallurgy that utilizes biological agents (bacteria) to recover metals. It is a subset or specialized form of hydrometallurgy, which refers to the use of aqueous solutions for metal extraction through a series of chemical reactions. Bioleaching is closely related to biohydrometallurgy. It focuses on extraction or liberation of metals from their ores through the use of living organisms.
