Research Progress on Microbial Treatment Technology for Heavy Metal Pollution in Mining Wastewater
China is endowed with abundant mineral resources,yet long-term mining activities have led to varying degrees of pollution in the water bodies surrounding mining areas.Heavy metal pollution,in particular,severely impacts the quality of agricultural products,poses a threat to the ecological environment,and can even endanger human health.This issue stands as one of the pressing environmental problems that China needs to address.This article reviewed the sources of heavy metal pollution in mining areas and explored microbial remediation methods.Furthermore,we proposed a photosynthetic microbial purification method for water bodies that is more greener,safer,economical,and efficient than traditional approaches for treating heavy metal pollution.Thereby this study will provide a valuable reference for the remediation of heavy metal pollution technology.
