Overview

Bioremediation techniques for treating metals, contaminated soil and water are in an emerging state of development. Unlike organic compounds such as CO2 and water, metals and their salts generally inhibit biological activity. This book introduces treatment technology and options for the bioremediation of metals. Topics covered include: passive bioremediation of metals from water using reactors or constructed wetlands; bacterial chromate reduction and product characterization; microbial removal of heavy metals and suffate from contaminated groundwaters; combined removal of arsenic, VOCs and SVOCs from groundwater using an anaerobic/aerobic bioreactor.
