Study on Treatment of Uranium-Containing Wastewater by Biosorption

Abstract

Abstract This paper is going to introduce the research status of the treatment of uranium-containing wastewater by biosorption; the definition and advantages of biosorption technology and the types of biosorbents; the effects of pH, temperature and coexisting ions on the adsorption efficiency of biosorption; and the mechanism of biosorption of metals: precipitation, cell enrichment, oxidation and reduction, and enzymatic action. Finally, it provides a direction for further research in the future.
