Opis

This book studies the interdisciplinary relationship between microbiology and the inorganic world through the genesis of microbiology in the metal world, the pysiological aspects, and their applications in the mineral sector, metal extraction, and material synthesis including role of microbes in environmental remediation in the mining industries.

Recenzje

"The selected topics are quite good. I like the fact that the book does not deal too much on the chemistry of the microorganisms and the overall biohydrometallurgical process mechanisms, (which have all been dealt with significantly in past books) but deals more with the application in the mining and metals extraction industry, the focus on the residues from industry and on the environmental remediation."

"The book covers various aspects of microbes in environmental remediation in the mining industries. It elucidates [a] good interdisciplinary relationship between microbiology and the metal / mineral science."
