Abstract

The Disposal of wastewater containing heavy metals brings out long-term environmental pollution.Biological reduction of sulfate with sulfate-reducing bacteria(SRB) can chemically precipitate heavy metals and remove the insoluble metal sulfide at the same time.The principle,characteristics,influential factors and current research of heavy metals removal with biological reduction of sulfate are described in this paper.It is feasible and effective to removal heavy metals with biological method and it has reliable significance for the treatment of heavy metals wastewater.
