| Abstract [eng] |
Dissolved heavy metals in wastewater represent a persistent threat to both environmental and public health due to their chronic toxicity [1]. Conventional treatment approaches—such as chemical precipitation and membrane ultrafiltration—are often energy-intensive and may not be sustainable at lower contaminant concentrations [2]. Alternatively, biological processes offer an environmentally friendly solution by exploiting the innate abilities to sequester heavy metals via mechanisms including bioprecipitation, biosorption, and bioaccumulation [3].
