We have previously shown that laboratory model reactors are capable of removing 90-97% of mercury from a chloralkali factory wastewater and that the mercury and salt concentations commonly encountered in such wastewaters are not inhibitory to microbial mercury removal (19).
Some processes operating on an industrial scale have been described; however, since this is a passive process, saturation occurs at metal loadings around 10% of the dry weight, after which the metals need to be eluted and the biomass regenerated (27).
Therefore, the efficiency of a process based on an active enzymatic reaction cannot be described adequately by the loading efficiency of the biomass (34).
