THERMODYNAMIC SUBSTANTIATION OF INTEGRAL MECHANISMS OF MICROBIAL INTERACTION WITH METALS
Journal Title: Екологично инженерство и опазване на околната среда - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Despite the promising application of microorganisms for purification of metal-containing wastewater such biotechnologies have not been widely used since their empirical basis. Therefore, the aim of our work was to apply thermodynamic prognosis to determine the optimal pathway of microbial removal of toxic metals (CrO42-, Cu2+) and its experimental justification. There was theoretically substantiated on the base of thermodynamic prognosis and experimentally confirmed integration of microbial reduction of metals, and their precipitation by microorganisms. Developed approach is the methodological basis for fast and effective purification of metal-containing wastewater.
