Acid mine drainage poses severe environmental pollution problems due to its high acidity,
toxic metals and sulphate contents. In this review, the available prevention of acid mine …

Mining-industry is one of the most important activities in the economic development of many
countries and produces highly significant alterations on the environment, mainly due to the …

Mining activity for rare earth elements (REEs) has caused serious environmental pollution,
particularly for soil ecosystems. However, the effects of REEs on soil microbiota are still …

The crude processing of electronic waste (e-waste) has led to serious contamination in soils.
While microorganisms may play a key role in remediation of the contaminated soils, the …

Thallium (Tl) is a trace element with extreme toxicity. Widespread Tl pollution in riverine

Overexploitation of rare earth elements (REEs) has caused serious desertification and
environmental pollution. The ecological restoration of mining areas has attracted increasing …

Thallium (Tl) is a well-recognized hazardous heavy metal with very high toxicity. It is usually
concentrated in sulfide minerals, such as pyrite (FeS 2), sphalerite (ZnS), chalcopyrite (CuS) …

A field pilot-scale passive treatment system was developed for in-situ bioremediation of acid
mine drainage (AMD). The microbial community and its variation were analyzed. The data …

Heavy metal contamination poses considerable threats to various ecosystems, yet little is
known about the assembly and adaptation of microbial communities at sites with combined …

Heavy metal remediation treatments might influence functional microbial community
assembly. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia (DNRA) contributes to the nitrogen …
