Microbial detoxification of chrysotile - Towards safe disposal of asbestos . Safe disposal of asbestos is a global concern. It belongs to serpentine class of minerals which are magnesium phyllosilicates. In natural environments, microbes and geochemical processes play an important role in the dissolution and transformation of these magnesium silicate minerals as chrysotile into non-toxic forms along with capturing of CO2; but much of our knowledge in the area is limited due to poor understanding of reaction mechanisms. This project will develop new methods to enable and advance the fundamental knowledge of microbially induced transformation of asbestos minerals into non toxic forms with significant implications for CO2 capture; a crucial step towards safe disposal of asbestos and net zero carbon emissions. Field of research: 3703 - Geochemistry Asbestos causes 4000 deaths in Australia per annum and costs over $1billion to the economy. The use of asbestos has been banned in the building industry since 2003, but its release from old buildings remains a major challenge to health and environment. This project will harness the bioinspired natural microbial processes that alter asbestos mineral fibres into a nontoxic form by understanding their reaction mechanisms and kinetics at micro- to nanoscale. These insights into natural microbial asbestos break down processes will lead to the development of safe, eco-friendly asbestos management technology. The new technology will provide a safe disposal and detoxification process for asbestos with applications in construction-mining sector and built infrastructure. The outcome has a potential to steer Australia towards achieving an asbestos disease-free future and save many lives. The findings will be shared with building industry stakeholders through conferences, workshops, Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Trailblazer programme and other outreach programs at Curtin University and WA Museum to foster community and industry engagement. The project will also create a legacy of benefit by building national and international collaboration (stronger European collaborations), growing research capacity and training the next generation of scientists in research priority areas that are crucial for Australia’s future prosperity.
