Unprocessed discarded nickel-cadmium batteries pose significant environmental hazards due to their heavy metal content. This study aims to explore effective methods for nickel and cadmium recovery from these spent batteries, focusing on bioleaching processes as a sustainable alternative to traditional techniques. A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to evaluate various bioleaching methods, particularly those utilizing microorganisms such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, known for their ability to tolerate and dissolve heavy metals. The factors influencing the efficiency of the bioleaching process, including temperature, leaching medium, and waste material quantity, were examined. Results indicate that optimizing these parameters can significantly enhance the recovery yield of nickel and cadmium from spent batteries, presenting bioleaching as a viable strategy for recycling heavy metals. This study contributes to the understanding of biochemical methods for battery waste management and highlights the potential of biotechnological advancements in reducing environmental pollution through effective recovery of valuable metals.
