Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution using sodium alginate immobilized sulfate reducing bacteria: Mechanism and process optimization.

Heavy metal removal was evaluated using sodium alginate immobilized sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) under batch and continuous mode. Under batch conditions, more than 95% metal removal was achieved due to formation of insoluble metal sulfides exterior to the bead surface. Best heavy metal removal re...
