Humic acid pretreatment for enhancing microbial removal of metals from a synthetic 'wastewater'.

Humic acid pretreatment for enhancing microbial removal of metals from a synthetic 'wastewater'.

The presence of heavy metal ions in waste streams is one of the most pervasive environmental issues of present times. A rotating biological contactor (RBC) was used to investigate the potential capacity of microbial biofilms in remediation of the metal ion species from a mixed metal contaminated eff...
