摘要
Mine drainage waters are widely regarded as environmental pollutants, but they are also potential sources of valuable transition metals, such as zinc, copper and cobalt. This article describes the laboratory application of continuous flow modular bioreactor systems, one oxidative and the other reductive, for the selective precipitation of metals from metal-rich acidic mine waters.
