摘要：The invention provides a method, and apparatus for implementing the same, for treating materials comprising one or more metallic and one or more organic contaminants in a liquid stream, the method comprising contacting the contaminants with one or more microbial species in a reactor vessel, one or more of the microbial species at least in part causing one or more of the organic contaminants to be chemically altered and one or more of the microbial species at least in part causing one or more of the metallic contaminants to be chemically altered. The technique is particularly beneficial in that the treatment is possible under naturally occurring conditions of low pH and in that complex organic forms are degraded.
