Využití mikroorganismů a rostlin k odstraňování těžkých kovů z vodního prostředí

Abstract

Bachelor thesis focuses on presence of heavy metals in the environment and the methods of theirs removal. I focused on selected types of metals - lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, copper, nickel and zinc, their physical and chemical properties, toxicity. The removal of heavy metals by physical and chemical methods is described in the next chapter: Cementation, Precipitation methods, Ion Exchange Technology, Membrane Technology, Electric Extraction. This work focuses on remediation techniques in the following: Phytoremediation, Microbial Transformation Of Metals, Biosorption By Yeast And Algae.
