Abstract:
Non-ferrous metals, whether primary production from primary sources or industrial waste recycling, bring with them a burden on the environment. One very important load is the excessive production of carbon dioxide and waste water containing heavy metals. These two environmental problems are closely linked. This article briefly describes the method of using carbon dioxide arising from industrial processes for the preparation of biomass needed for subsequent removal of heavy metals from wastewater. In this particular case, we use special nanotechnology based material to improve the process and the quality of recovered biomass. The results are very promising. During the first step of the process, we increase biomass production by 30% and also reduced the cost of the whole biomass preparation process. These results are very useful for future application in the next steps. With this technology improvement, we can now produce more biosorbent based materials and after that we use it as a source to bioreactor for heavy metals removal procedure.
