Hydraulic retention time and pH affect the performance and microbial communities of passive bioreactors for treatment of acid mine drainage

Abstract For acceleration of removing toxic metals from acid mine drainage (AMD), the effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and pH on the reactor performance and microbial community structure in the depth direction of a laboratory-scale packed-bed bioreactor containing rice bran as waste organic...
