Removal of Pollutants from an AMD from a Coal Mine by Neutralization/Precipitation Followed by “In Vivo” Biosorption Step with the Microalgae <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp.

Removal of Pollutants from an AMD from a Coal Mine by Neutralization/Precipitation Followed by “In Vivo” Biosorption Step with the Microalgae <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp.

This work evaluates the benefits of a complementary treatment step of acid mine drainage (AMD) using the algae <i>Scenedesmus sp.</i> in terms of algae biomass production, residual metal removal, and the toxicity of the discharged water. Conventional treatment by neutralization/precipita...
