The process involves the following steps:

1. Creation of Peptide Iron Particles through coating iron particles with selected peptides.
2. Grinding of ore into a fine powder and exposing metal surfaces.
3. Addition of water and Peptide Iron Particles to the mineral slurry, resulting in the metal being covered in peptides.
4. Use of a large electromagnet to adsorb and collect Peptide Iron Particles along with the metal.
5. Separation of metal from other minerals through concentration.
6. Destruction of peptides using a special solution, resulting in natural separation of metal and iron particles.
7. Removal of independent iron particles using a big electromagnet, leaving the metal alone for collection.

The process offers several key benefits, including:

1. Suitable for use with more expensive metals.
2. High recovery rate of 90-99%, with potential for treating existing tailings.
3. Environmentally friendly with no pollution, only water for physical separation, and no chemicals used.
4. Fast reaction with the ability to recycle iron particles.
5. Target-specific metal extraction and easy separation of different metals.
6. Effective, simple, and fast removal of heavy metal pollution in water or soil.
7. Cost-effective mass production of Peptide Iron Particles for different metals, including rare earth elements.

Peptide Iron Particles have a wide range of applications, including the treatment of heavy metal pollution in water and soil through the efficient application of the described process.
