Performance of microbial community dominated by spp. in acid mine drainage remediation systems: A focus on the high removal efficiency of SO , Al, Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Sr.

A consortium of microbial community was used for the treatment of acid mine drainage wastewater laden with sulphate and heavy metals. The wastewater was treated in an anaerobic continuously stirred tank bioreactor. The microbial community activity increased the pH from 5.
