| Description: | The main focus of this collection of peer-reviewed articles is the role that micro-organisms play in the treatment of minerals, metals, coal, oil, waste materials; and also in related environmental issues. Nowadays, as well as developing new technologies for the production of raw materials and useful products, major efforts have to be directed at the remediation of former mining sites and at environmental protection tasks associated with the various kinds of mining. This book presents the latest scientific and technological advances made in this area, and offers an invaluable ‘one-stop’ opportunity for biotechnologists, industrialists and environmentalists to make themselves familiar with current challenges and future trends in the field. In particular, it will enable scientists and engineers, from the first to the third world, to study biohydrometallurgical applications and learn how to implement them within their own particular society. |
