It’s 99%. This doesn’t preclude that you can’t use the first method to recover 70%, and the more environmentally challenging leaching method to recovery the remaining amount. Smaller volume means it’s still a net benefit. Maybe it’s not possible after the initial processing, the paper does not discuss this.
