dc.description.abstractCurrent research is the first part of the BIOMETAL DEMO project, funded by the European Union, focusing on the development of complementary and modular biotreatment processes for the removal of metal ions from industrial effluents (issued from mining industry, surface treatment and ceramics). Metal bio-precipitation (in form of metal sulfides and metal phosphates) using sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), phytase and phosphatase enzymes, biosorption using sugar-beet pulp, algal biomass and alginate- or chitosan-based composites (immobilizing polyethyleneimine derivatives by encapsulation) have been extensively studied using synthetic and industrial effluents. These preliminary results allow designing a treatment flow-sheet including pre-treatment of the effluent using biologically-assisted precipitation followed by biosorption (for mining effluents that contain sulfate anions). For surface treatment and ceramics effluents, bio-precipitation combined with biosorption processes and physicochemical pretreatment followed by biosorption process represent, respectively, a promising solution. The carbon-source for the SRB process, the optimization of process parameters and the biosorbents have been selected taking into account both the technical performance and the economic viability.
