Abstract
Metal pollution in acid mine drainage is one of the most serious environmental problem. Sulfidogenic process driven by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is an attractive biotechnology for acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment. This study reviews the mechanisms,performance and limitations of various heavy metal ions removal by SRB. The reactor configuration and carbon source of sulfidogenic process were also discussed.
