Green biocatalyst: Agro-waste boosts enzyme for silver recycling
HEP Data Cooperation Journals
Bacillus sp. CL14 produced proteases with diverse substrates using hydrolyzed feather meal, linseed flour and canola meal. The crude enzyme was successfully applied to hydrolyze the gelatin layer in waste X-ray films, which might be a cost-effective and eco-friendly strategy for silver recovery.
