Addressing heavy metal pollution is one of the hot areas of environmental research. Despite
natural existence, various anthropomorphic sources have contributed to an unusually high …

Owing to industrial evolution, a huge mass of toxic metals, including Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb,
and Zn, and metalloids, such as As and Sb, has inevitably been released into the natural …

This paper presents the latest overview of the environmental impact of wastes from the non-
ferrous metallurgical industry. Ashes, slags and dusts–by-products from mining and metal …

Cyanide usage in gold processing techniques has become increasingly challenging due to
its toxicity and environmental impact. It is possible to develop environmentally friendly …

Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (A. thiooxidans) is a widespread, mesophilic, obligately
aerobic, extremely acidophilic, rod-shaped, and chemolithoautotrophic gram-negative …

Cationic and oxyanionic metals are widely existed in the aquatic and soil environment with
the process of industrialization and they may behave different transport properties in aquifer …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination arising from industrialization has attracted increasing attention
in recent years. Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) as an effective agricultural practice has …

The behavior of arsenic (As) bioleaching from mine tailings containing high amount of As
(ca. 34,000 mg/kg) was investigated using Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans to get an insight on …

Conventional wastewater treatment plants remove phosphorus, which is captured in sewage
sludge. Increasing attention is paid to suitable process pathways that allow recovery and …

The effects of bioleaching on the fractionation of soil heavy metals were investigated in this
study. Bioleaching of heavy metals from contaminated soil was carried out in shake flask …
