Abstract

Biological immobilized technology is considered a potential instrument for the removal of heavy metals from waste solutions and for precious heavy metals recovery, an alternative to the conventional processes, such as those based on ion exchange, or adsorption on activated carbon. In this work the state of the art of treating wastewater containing lead, cadmium and chromium and other metals by the method of biological immobilization is presented and results found in literature are compared. It had been demonstrated that heavy metal can be effectively removed by biological immobilization, which had great potential advantages of less cells loss, easily controlling, high efficiency, together with the great economical and environmental merit of recover scarce metal resources.
